A year after her husband’s sudden death, ceramic artist
Tilda Fordwells finally moves into the secluded Welsh
cottage that was to be their new home. She hopes that the
tranquil surroundings will help ease her grief, and lessen
her disturbing visions of Mat’s death. Instead, the lake in
the valley below her cottage seems to spark something
dormant in her – a sensitivity, and a power of some sort.
Animals are drawn to her, electricity shorts out when she’s
near, and strangest of all, she sees a new vision; a boatful
of ancient people approaching her across the water.
On this same lake in Celtic times lived Seren, a witch and
shaman. She was respected but feared, kept separate from the
community for her strange looks. When a vision came to her
of the Prince amid a nest of vipers she warned of betrayal
from one of his own. Prince Brynach both loved and revered
her, but could not believe someone close to him wished him
harm, even as the danger grew.
In her own time, Tilda’s grief begins to fade beside her
newfound powers and a fresh love. When she explores the
lake’s ancient magic and her own she discovers Seren, the
woman in her vision of the boat. Their two lives strangely
mirror each other’s, suggesting a strong connection between
the women. As Tilda comes under threat from a dark power,
one reminiscent of Seren’s prophecy, she must rely on Seren
and ancient magic if death and disaster is not to shatter
her life once more.
