In New York City, seventeen-year-old Grace Knox is tangled in the web of an ancient prophecy.

The Fianna, legendary Irish warriors, have been called from their undying sleep to aid Ireland in its rebellion from Britain. The spell went awry, and the Fianna woke in New York along with their bitter enemies, the Fomori. A prophecy demands that a Druid priestess—a veleda— must choose between these two sides. Grace is this veleda.

But she must sacrifice her power—and her life—to her choice. On one side are her fiancé, Patrick Devlin, and the Fomori. On the other are the Fianna—and the warrior Diarmid Ua Duibhne, with whom Grace shares an undeniable connection. Patrick has promised to find a way to save her life. In three months, at the ancient ritual, Diarmid must wield the knife that kills her.

Grace doesn’t know whom to trust. As dark forces converge on the city, she struggles to discover the truth  about her power. Can she change her own destiny? Can she escape the shadows of the past and reach for a future she could never have imagined?
