An Unlikely Council

Sixteen-year-old Maggie Nolan's life has changed drastically in a matter of months. After the disappearance of her mother and the sudden death of her father, she finds herself moving to a tiny village called Maynooth, in rural Ireland, to live with a grandmother she hardly remembers. From the moment she lands in the Emerald Isle, she feels compelled to make certain choices-all of which lead her to Ben McGuire. Ben, a fellow Canadian, is working in the village's bookshop, searching for clues that might identify the voice he's been hearing in his dreams for weeks. The moment she opens her mouth, Ben knows the voice belongs to Maggie.

Grainne O'Shea, on the other hand, has lived in Maynooth for years, and tries to move through her days unnoticed while attempting to navigate the wicked, complicated moods of her cruel mother. And it mostly works, until she garners the attention of popular Tryk Flanagan. Tryk has always known who Grainne is, but he's suddenly transfixed by her and worried for her safety. Grainne tries to shake the unwanted attention but for Tryk, walking away isn't an option.

When the four discover their connection, during an unnerving showdown with an unexpected evil, the truth starts to unravel, and it's clear that nothing will ever be the same.
