Then later when both have grown up, Ronan comes to Teagan’s house and they both fall in love with each other but will they stay together or will Muirgen due something to get Ronan back?
The author has blended a captivating tale of a fantasy with Irish undertones. The history in the story is told in a believable way. The characters themselves are appealing. They are full-bodied and have a sense of intelligence to why they do something and speak the way they do in the story.
