<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A contemporary couple journeys back in time to ancient Ireland in this delightful fantasy by the author of <i>Tea with the Black Dragon</i>.</b> <p/> John Thornburn is an artist, mild-mannered and nonviolent. To make ends meet, he teaches some courses in Celtic design. And although his background is half Micmac Indian, he lives in Ireland for two reasons: his far more confrontational and warrior-like girlfriend, Derval O'Keane, and his fascination with the beautiful illuminated manuscript known as the Book of Kells. <p/> But he's about to take a journey to a far more distant place, one that he could not have imagined. Along with Derval, John will find himself in an ancient Celtic realm, where a Viking attack begs to be avenged and a fantastic--and sometimes terrifying--adventure awaits . . . <p/> From a master of magical fantasy, the author of the Damiano Trilogy and a winner of the John W. Campbell Award, this is a tale of warriors, love, danger, and Irish history that will cast a spell on anyone who dreams of discovering treasures in long-lost worlds. <br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>R.
