“For untold millennia she had watched over the M’Lauchlin’s fortunes, her unearthly shrieks and wails foretelling the passing of many of the ancient clan. But as they watched the unsuspecting mortal youth something in her demeanour unsettled the Fianna Sidhe warrior . The moon had crested and columns of silvery light pierced the woodland canopy, magically transforming its interior. It was a scene that fifteen-year-old Conner M’Lauchlin had witnessed many times and had never tired of. A suffusion... of wild garlic and lavender scented the evening as he lay beneath the majestic oak. It was the same pervasive odour he had smelt the night his grandfather had died. At his funeral, too, it was conspicuous, causing a gaggle of his ageing aunts to sough of the ‘White Lady of Sorrow‘. As to what they had alluded he never found out. Two days later they, along with his grandfather’s ashes, returned to Ireland. Nevertheless, as had happened on each of those occasions, he had an unsettling sense of being watched by unseen eyes.MoreLess Read More Read Less
