On the shores of western Ireland, in a drab town - a young, day-dreaming waitress hides her scars. Chained  to a life of caring for an alcoholic and abusive father, twenty-year-old Clara paints herself pretty lies of days when things might just get better. 
    
    But, they don't...they get exponentially worse.
    
    Death. Her death. 
    
    After a run in with a senile old man who foreshadows her death, Clara is faced with her greatest reality check yet. The Faerie are real. The monsters that drove her father to drink are real. Tír na nÔg is no bedtime story, it's her purgatory. 
    
    Alive and lost in the unveiled and dangerous Fae world, Clara comes face-to-face with the Spirit of the Wild - Naisi, a crownless King broken by a shadow that's corrupting the Seelie reality. With the balance of nature upturned it's not only the Fae who are at risk. As above so below. And Clara must fight every prejudice to save a life, and in doing so she might just find her reason for living.

    Inspired by my fanfiction series of the same title.  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.
