There she encounters Bríg, the goddess of fire, healing, and the first trembling breath of spring-radiant as dawnlight, sorrowful as a world fading from memory. Bríg speaks to the part of Eithne that has never forgotten her ancestors' songs, awakening a gift that stirs like a spark in dry tinder.

For the land remembers. The gods remember. And Eithne is the spark that may yet rekindle them.

This is a re-telling based on the origins of 'To Live Again' and my love of fairytales - especially Beauty & the Beast and Irish folklore. For original fans of my fan work I can assure that there will be both familiar faces but entirely uncharted worlds. It's definitely not the same story but the characters are a little flicker of their origins. ***Beautiful Cover Design by the lovely @Stars_Alight*** Copyright 2020
