The stories of Ireland are prevalent in County Mayo, and Branna O'Dwyer fully embodies them in both her personal life and her career as the owner of The Dark Witch shop, which sells handmade soaps, lotions, and candles for tourists. Branna?s courage and selflessness hold together a close circle of friends and family?along with their horses and hawks and her pet puppy. But there?s a single missing link in the chain of her life: love? She once had it?for a split second?with Finbar Burke, but history and blood forbid a shared future. Because of this, Fin has dedicated his life to work rather than passion, traversing the globe to fill the void left by Branna. The bond between Branna and Fin brings them both comfort and suffering. There are no guarantees for the future, even though they give in to the heat between them. Everything that their circle treasures is under threat from a tempest of shadows. In an age-old conflict between the ties that bind their friends together and the evil that has plagued their family for ages, Fin's strength, devotion, and heart will make all the difference.
