The brothers listened to Linnea, their shoulders tensing at the news. They would have to tell Damon and the rest of the Fianna.
They’d already told them of their plans to stay with Linnea and her daughter. They had legitimate right to remain. As the bearers of the Claíomh Solais, no one would question them. As consorts to the Guardian Mother, they would have the freedom to do some spying of their own.
“You know, Meru brought me something on her last visit. I wasn’t sure why—but now I think it might help.” She rushed to her bureau, taking out a scrap of paper before returning to the balcony. “The Book of Veils revealed another stanza in the prophecy.” Lowering her voice, she read aloud.
Another daughter of my line
A warrior bold
Will be forced to fight the enemy
Within and without.
The path to the key is hidden in shadow
To discover the truth
She must embrace her gifts
To heal her heart and save The Realm
Her only option is to trust a child of Danu.
“She seemed a little disturbed about it. It’s clear to her that this part is talking about Sheridan.”
Val interrupted. “And the Child of Danu. I would imagine that was Finn, right?”
Linnea nodded. “That’s what Meru thinks. But Sheridan isn’t doing very well. In fact, she seems to be getting worse. More withdrawn. She’s not sure if her cousin is ready to face any more challenges. Not for a while, anyway. She wants us to do what we can here.”
Both men nodded. They looked at each other, concerned for the woman who had been so fearless before her attack.
Linnea looked at her two warriors. She knew Sheridan had a tough road ahead, not to mention poor Finn. If he was the one she was supposed to trust, he would have his work cut out for him.
Especially now.
She would help in any way she could. The danger wasn’t over yet.
But right now? Right now she could only be thankful for the wholeness Hawk and Val had given her. The love they had brought into her life. And, most important of all, her daughter was safe and happy. She was truly blessed.
About the Author
Stolen away by a free-spirited gypsy as a child (though she still swears she’s my mother), I spent my childhood roaming the countryside, meeting fascinating characters and having amazing adventures. As the perpetual “new kid”, my friends more often than not were found between the pages of a book…and in my own imagination. I read everything I could get my hands on. At the age of 11, I read my first romance and I’ve been hooked ever since.
I’ve been a nurse, a lead vocalist in several bands, a published lyricist and even a returning student at University majoring in Anthropology and Mythology. Throughout all of my varied careers I would sigh as I read one fantasy-filled story after another saying, “Someday I want to write one of those.” Until one day my husband said, “So do it.” And I did. Now I can’t imagine doing anything else.
