About this audiobook
In Victorian New York, seventeen-year-old Grace Knox is tangled in the web of an ancient prophecy.
The Fianna, legendary Irish warriors, have been magically called from their undying sleep to aid Ireland in its rebellion against Britain. But the Fianna have awakened in New York alongside their bitter enemies, the Fomori. A prophecy demands that a Druid priestess—a veleda—must choose between these two sides. Grace is this veleda.
But being the veleda means she must sacrifice her power—and her life—to her choice. On one side are her fiancé, Patrick Devlin, and the Fomori. On the other are the Fianna—and the warrior Diarmid Ua Duibhne, with whom Grace shares an undeniable connection. Patrick has promised to find a way to save her life. In three months, at the ancient ritual, Diarmid must wield the knife that kills her.
Grace doesn’t know whom to trust. As dark forces converge on the city, she struggles to discover the truth about her power. Can she change her own destiny? Can she escape the shadows of the past and reach for a future she could never have imagined?

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5In the second of the series, Grace comes to terms with being the veleda and figuring out what her powers are. Her connection with Derry intensifies--and how!--despite her efforts to keep it at bay. This book is really a set-up for the third but there is plenty of suspense and crackling sexual tension between Grace and Derry to keep things interesting. The conflict among Aidan, Grace's fiancé Patrick, and Derry is compelling too: rivals who find they need to work together to protect Grace. Looking forward to the scorching conclusion of book 3!
