Banshee

An inn for travelers is visited by the fairy power of the Bean Sidhe, the banshee who warns of approaching doom. When Anann, one of the travelers, stops to rest at the inn during a winter storm, she is warned off by one of the creatures, but she has a greater agenda. Her passion is to seek out a darker spirit, the Lianhan Sidhe in the forest of Scáth Coille, who has trapped Anann’s lover. Her journey comes at a cost, more than she ever imagined, before she is able to rescue him and find a path back into the real world.

 

Darkness covers the land…

Annan arrives at the inn during a winter storm. She is a traveler seeking shelter for the night on her journey to save her lover. Awakened by the cry of a banshee before first light, she knows it is a warning and leaves at once. She must find the forest of Scáth Coille. It is there her lover is being held captive.

To her distress he has come under the spell of another banshee, the dark spirit of the Lianhan Sidhe, a daughter of the people of the barrows.

Madness will consume him if Anann cannot break the enchantment. She must divert the banshee and awaken her lover to the truth.

Her desire comes at a cost, bringing them both into grave danger.

Good read. Well written. Terrific characters.

Quite an interesting tale about one of the many mysteries of Irish folklore. The author’s detailed and descriptive narrative carries your minds’ eye to visualizing the individual characters activities and souls with unusual clarity. Good read for any age. Good story – very well written and very creative. Only draw back, is that the tale is too short -these characters you want to continue with them for many more pages. Recommend it without hesitation.
