Rainy days weren't unusual for England. Certainly more the rule than the exception. But this story doesn't start on just any rainy, autumn day. A bereaved man had dumped a load of old belongings of his deceased grandmother at the unassuming antique shop. The shop's assistant, Ciar Tyndale, was tasked to search through the stuff to find what could be sold. Within the dusty relics, he found a hidden power he would never have anticipated. Even with great power in hand, things aren't starting to look up for him as he's soon pursued by forces beyond his belief. Getting himself out of this mess and not tearing the world apart at the same time will be a challenge, but what else is there to do in an antique shop?

Ireland is everything she was always told it was and then some. As she sorts out the slowly declining house in the woods, she's thrust into the path of handsome Torin Boyle by circumstance.
