  Love is immortal and time, as we know it, is circular. A modern American girl is about to discover just how mystical the world can be. 
   
   
   
  Destry Caldbeck, smarting from being jilted at the altar, travels to Ireland on what was supposed to be her honeymoon. While visiting Dowth, an ancient Neolithic site outside of Dublin, she encounters a group of students and their instructor. Dr. Conor Da Derga is everything an Irishman should be—enormous, muscular, red-headed, and drop-dead sexy. 
   
   
   
  Soon, they find themselves caught up in a maelstrom of time shifts, landing them back in the Middle Ages of Ireland's history where they discover a high king's destiny. 
   
   
   
  But their situation is far more complex and dangerous than it seems. 
   
   
   
  Conor was once known as the Ard-Rí of Ciannachta, a powerful ancient kingdom. As the High King, he was much respected but as he quickly discovers, his jealous brother rose up against him and Conor and Destry were banished to the nether regions by an evil wizard. It's up to Destry and Conor to save a kingdom that once belonged to them and to understand that their lives are caught up in an ancient cycle of fate they can't control. 
   
   
   
  And a love that will never end.
