Synopsis

The year is 1546 AD. The ‘witch craze’ is beginning to sweep across Europe. Hundreds of people have been executed for witchcraft in Germany, England, and Scotland. Would Ireland soon succumb? Amateur cartographer Gale Butler, the pampered daughter of a prosperous Galway merchant, may be the key. She is a budding seafarer. along with her best friend and future pirate queen Granuaile (Grace/Grainne) O’Malley. Gale, aged 18, embarks on a series of journeys, only some of which are voluntary. She finds help and hindrance in unexpected ways and places. A druidic mentor, a mystical horse, and a troubled but honest and handsome man at arms employed by the O’Flaherty clan assist her. A good thing too, for a seemingly impossible task is laid upon her by a fairy woman. Enemies abound and unseen evil begins to dog her heels, yet despite the plots and perils at hand, a romance begins to build and life-long friendships with some of the premier intellects and inventors of the age are forged. Set in Western Ireland, the tale is a mix of historical fact, plausible fiction, and just a touch of mysticism. The Mists of Avalon meets Outlander in this story of women who push against society's boundaries of religion, politics, and gender.
