The Blade of Daire
(The Cross of Ciaran Book 5)
By Andrea Matthews


Publication Date: 23rd June 2024
Publisher: Inez M. Foster
Page Length: 331
Genre: Time Travel Romance

When a group of boys decides to violate one of the ancient hillside tombs that have been declared off-limits, they unleash a power they never imagined. But former fifth-century pagan priest Ciaran Donnelly is all too aware of what has been awakened, and it’s nothing less than another relic of his past rising to wreak havoc in the twentieth century.

He's growing weary of issues from his past resurfacing and bringing with them emotions he’d rather leave buried. But what is he to do when the latest creature has kidnapped one of the boys who dared to enter his tomb? There is no question that he and his brother, Aodhán, will have to get to the bottom of it. On a positive note, at least, the ancient priest who has been awakened has little real power, or he didn’t fifteen hundred years ago.

Ciarán has a bigger fear, though. This latest discovery has dredged up memories of his fifth-century wife, which is causing him to experience conflicting emotions and putting a strain on his twentieth-century marriage to Caitlin. 

Can their love survive this latest assault from his past, or is he destined to succumb to its grip and lose all he loves?
