England in the near future. Mainstream religions have been outlawed, and the old gods rule again. Iamo has been a priest of the Great Mother and is sworn to celibacy, but his love for Riga, a Black Shaman, a magical assassin, caused him to break his vows.
Author's Biography
Originally Scottish/Irish, Ailsa is now naturalized French and has lived there for over 20 years although she travels all over Europe. She's as at home with a chainsaw as she is with a crochet hook and makes a mean Victoria sponge cake. Early retirement due to health problems has given her the chance to write full time, which, of course, is what she always wanted.

Reader Comments
A very believable insight to a possible future for mankind. Gently persuasive of all the possibilities by proposing unlikely alliances and allegiances which manage the time honoured victory of love over all difficulties and right over evil.
I would like to read the prequel to this yarn which might clarify some of the lead up to this story! Equally the scene is set for a trilogy which , by rights should produce the glorious grand finale!
Riveting read from start to finish - cannot recommend it highly enough.
