The Celtic past and the magic of reincarnation are the subject of another of Barbara Erskine's novels. The book's main character, the mysterious Brid, a Druid priestess from ancient Scotland, can transport herself into the present as a physical creature of flesh and blood. He lives among humans, loves one of the mortals and murders others.
Her human counterpart is Adam Craig, only fifteen years old at the beginning of the story in 1935. Time travel and an exciting plot with an unexpected resolution are also among the main trumps this time
writer's art.
