Description
17 year old Laurel Blackburn has returned to Ireland where her twin sister died the previous year. Guided by entries in her sister’s diary that speak of a strange mission for a mysterious people, Laurel travels to Achill Island on the Irish west coast. As she searches for the lost Summer King of Faerie, Laurel is attacked by the Sea People and the raven-like gruagachs.
Will she find the King in time to light the Midsummer fires?
Will she be re-united with her sister?
And what of Ian, the dark-eyed brooding young man who shadows her every move?
Is he friend or foe?
