The medieval manuscript of a Dark Mage and a mysterious stone with the power over time and space plunge Aideen Godwin into a world of sex and sorcery, love, passion and betrayal. Arriving late at the estate sale of reported Arch Druid Michael Meyrick, Aideen buys the last item available-a crate, contents unknown. Back in her Dublin antiques shop, she finds that the crate holds a blood-red stone and the diary of Cenn Cruach. Academic appreciation of the text is soon replaced by erotic visions of Cenn. With each new page translated, the dreams grow more searing, drawing Aideen closer to the conclusion that she is the mysterious witch Cenn seeks to possess at all costs. Foregoing a childhood aversion to magic, Aideen uses the Bloodstone and finds herself not only in Cenn's arms and bed, but also in a land besieged by unseen evil. Treachery and the Bloodstone's own duplicity tear the lovers apart, returning Aideen to her storeroom where she questions her memories of this other time and place. Into Aideen's life steps the strangely familiar Kean Toland. He warns that her life is in danger, but before he can convince the reluctant Aideen of his honest intent, her world and belief system are turned upside down. To survive a madman and his troupe of killers, Aideen must put aside her fears and place her trust in Kean and the Bloodstone-before the dimensional barriers are broken down and an unholy army trailing chaos in its wake is unleashed.
