softly, through the veil

Meabh [mɛðv]; (Irish) She who intoxicates.

In the wake of her 21st birthday, Meabh's village is ravaged by a sickness. Her grandmother, the local healer, enlists Meabh to assist in treating the villagers, but the arrival of a strange group of armed men, a summer solstice and a particularly invasive kitten propels Meabh into discovering parts of herself she didn't even know existed.
