A druidic epic of time, lineage, and a love that defies oblivion.
For centuries, the Caer Thalanis—guardians of forbidden knowledge and heirs to the last druidic bloodline—have protected the secrets of the ancient Earth: the Thirteen Sacred Volumes and the Seven Stone Slabs, relics holding the power to bend time and heal the world. But an ancestral betrayal unleashed a devastating war among their own, and one of the last custodians was sealed in deep slumber, lost at the threshold between ages.
Talorcan MacRhean, warrior and heir of the Caer Thalanis, awakens in a world stripped of magic, where the trees no longer sing and the Earth—Gælia—beats with a wounded pulse. Only one woman can see him. Only she can hear the echo of the ancient call.
Aeryn Morwyn, a foreigner from the future, carries her own wound: a life devoid of meaning, a soul without roots. Drawn to an ancient stone circle and a vision she cannot explain, she is pulled into a destiny woven centuries before her birth.
Together, they must unravel the fabric of time and cross the star-gates to return to the year 1472, where war looms, the druidic lineage is dying, and the balance of the world hangs by a thread.
But the love between a daughter of the future and a son of the ancient earth is not written in the annals of fate…
…and there are forces that would burn the skies before allowing the final truth to be revealed.
Can a love born between worlds heal the heart of a forgotten land… and overcome time itself?
REBECCA NYSTROM: «Writing about love is a craft learned by writing. Writing about love was the deepest pleasure.
Still, there were always challenges in writing.
Writing was more like painting the voice and the emotion.
I live and think outside the rules and believe in personal power.
Energy flows where the mind goes and helps me stay present.»
«Writing gives you the strength to evolve. I didn’t yet understand that the more consciously I made decisions in my life, the stronger and more autonomous I would become. I live and think outside conventions, and energy flows where the mind goes. I write to better understand myself, to find clarity about the past, to situate myself in the present and future, and to discover the best moments in this world.»
As my dear Virginia Woolf would say: «It’s a shame never to say what you feel.»
«Writing means dissolving into these ancient stories and looking beyond the past—into the time when I was rejected, hurt, broken, where I suffered, where I fought, if that’s how it was. All I’ve done is write, and it has become good work. I hope this book has touched your souls. I love you all deeply. I appreciate every comment. Everything you share with me means so much.»
«I live and think unconventionally and believe in personal strength. Energy follows the flow of thoughts.»
