When twenty-six-year-old Eve McCormick awakes, the images from her nightmare are indelible. The dream feels so real she must force herself to get a grip. This experience is just the beginning for Eve, a Los Angeles clinical hypnotherapist and researcher investigating whether reincarnation is fact or fiction.
Unstoppable visions of an ancient lifetime steal days from her. The danger escalates when she wakes up physically injured and marked with a strange symbol. While Eve battles the past to maintain her sanity and safety, her project is jeopardized as another researcher's attempts to take over. One partner dies and another is accused of inappropriate conduct. Eve and her friend, Dr. Andrea McMurray, don't believe in coincidence and probe their shared visions for answers.
On the other side of the Atlantic, Welshman Ryerson Sanders is haunted by his dreams and believes Eve's research project can help him. For both of them, an ancient Celtic prophecy and long-sought revenge entangles the past with the present. A druidess and a shape-shifter must join to save the druid way of life, while a queen conspires to kill Erin's only high king. Will the oaths and agendas of the past reach across the centuries to strengthen or to destroy?

Customer Reviews
Absolutely Amazing!
I came acrosss this audiobook quite by chance and am so happy that I did. For a week I lost myself listening in my spare moments to the story which naturally unfolds and casts a spell. I was completely drawn into the book and when it came to an end I didn't want it to.
The story is narated by the author Rhonda R, Carpenterand there is some soundeffects throughout the book. Rhonda gives her characters depth and colour so you believe and empathise with them.
The sound effects vary in quality but they do add to the storytelling and my partner laughed at me when Iheard a lightening crack and noticeably jumped in my seat.
The story is cast in the present and deep in the past of time and the characters lives and weaves in a seamless fashion. Excellent research has obvioulsy been done in preparation for the book which makes the traditions and lives of the characters believable.
Some audiobooks have chapters of ten - twenty minutes long and this one isn't, it is meaty with average chapter lengths of 25-30 mins so you are getting your moneysworth, and is what is the most surprising thing, that the audiobook is FREE!!! I have paid for worse books.
I await the sequal in anticaption and can't enthuse enough about it. Download and listen to this and you will not regret it.
An excellent story
Very entertaining and imaginative. A clever mix of past and present with the principal characters connected through the mists of time.
