The seer may have foretold that Narani Randene would find her true love among the palaces of her enemy, but the warrior and huntress of the ancient race dwelling in the mysterious wildwood is determined to prove the seer wrong. Yet when she comes across a royal entourage under attack, she feels compelled to defend them only to find herself wounded and forced to recuperate in the monarch’s own citadel.

When Darcy and Lizzy meet at the Meryton assembly, Darcy is already engaged to another woman, and Lizzy has suffered the loss of someone she once loved. How will they find their way to each other, with these obstacles, and so many more, standing in their way?

Bay Randene, Khan of the Falling Waters, finds the posturing of their new allies amusing. Born with the ability to sense emotions, he knows when people lie to him, but even he cannot understand why he must entertain this beautiful Stranger in his mountain camp. Faced with the choice of marrying or giving up his position as leader, Bay has been searching for a bride among his own people. But Elloni’s wit and intelligence call to him, and something more stirs within her that only he seems to be able to sense.

It's December, 1846, and the insane dwarf, Fafnir, has returned and has convinced Colleen and Frederick to help him revive his ancient work that he began five thousand years ago, but which now lies in ruins. They must succeed, or the dragon and the terrible Fomorians in Ireland will rise and sweep across all the worlds.

It is the winter solstice of 1846. Fafnir the dwarf's monstrous creation, the Great Clock, has begun to tick. With every turn of its thousands of gears beneath the earth, the world is slowly changing, but not for the better - at least not for Mankind. Frederick has discovered that Fafnir seeks yet another relic - the Eye of Odin, through which he will gain the power to see all the paths of time, and so shape the course of history and the future to his own ends.
