The Blade of Daire

When a group of boys decides to violate one of the ancient hillside tombs that have been declared off-limits, they unleash a power they never imagined. But former fifth-century pagan priest Ciaran Donnelly is all too aware of what has been awakened, and it's nothing less than another relic of his past rising to wreak havoc in the twentieth century. He's growing weary of issues from his past resurfacing and bringing with them emotions he'd rather leave buried. But what is he to do when the latest creature has kidnapped one of the boys who dared to enter his tomb? There is no question that he and his brother, Aodhan, will have to get to the bottom of it. On a positive note, at least, the ancient priest who has been awakened has little real power, or he didn't fifteen hundred years ago. Ciaran has a bigger fear, though. This latest discovery has dredged up memories of his fifth-century wife, which is causing him to experience conflicting emotions and putting a strain on his twentieth-century marriage to Caitlin. Can their love survive this latest assault from his past, or is he destined to succumb to its grip and lose all he loves?
