Description

In 12th century America a trader, Caxna discovers an Irish woman washed ashore. Can he abandon her or the journey he has sworn to undertake? Part of the Celtic Knot Series

After joining her brother on Prince Madog's voyage to the western lands, Aisling is tossed overboard during a storm and washes ashore in a strange land, the Gulf Coast of America. Caxna, a Tlingit trader and former shaman discovers her and she enlists his help. But he has his own demons to contend with and is compelled to go on an arduous journey to the distant Mayan city of Xicallanca. Caxna must succeed in this trading journey in order to free his clan but with Aisling in the picture everything changes.

In the best tradition of the romantic adventure and breathtaking scenery of Sarah Donati and Diana Gabaldon, Gleeson takes the reader through a compelling and riveting plot that will linger past the last page.

….Gleeson leaves us with a memorable and poignant love story and a vision of a wonderful culture, unique in my experience of literature.

Karen Charlton, author of The Detective Lavender series

The underlying sexual tension is all the more powerful for the beautifully restrained writing, which makes the slightest touch electric; a medicinal massage becomes a moment of physical communion…. This is what Kristin Gleeson does best; portraying different cultures and showing how humanity can cross them.

Jean Gill, author of the Troubadours Quartet
