Married life for young Liam and Caitlín O'Neill is just as sensuous as their stormy courtship (Storm Maker). But both of them still need to learn a whole new language—how to show each other their deepest, most secret passions. Liam finds ingenious ways to teach his still-naive wife about his urgent needs, and she surprises him with her own instruction. But during their quest of each other, they find themselves on a deadly search—for the dark secrets of their old enemy Owen Sweeney, confined to an invalid's cart yet seemingly as dangerous as ever. Their search for the truth about the brooding half-man leads them back to the history of Ireland's most famous high king, to the grim vengeance of a jealous woman, and finally to the hills of sacred Tara, where a high king and St. Patrick himself compete for men's hearts and souls. A fantasy romance: passion and raw adventure in the time of St. Patrick.
