This is a unique tale of an Irish curse put upon the family of Trevallyn. As Englishmen, they took over Irish lands and a curse was placed on the males of the family who did not marry before the age of 20. Lord Trevallyn was destined to marry the woman chosen by a Druid cross. When the cross chose a newborn child to marry the 20-year-old Trevallyn, he refused to believe such a horrible choice. Instead, he defied the curse and married a woman he did not love.
Tragedy ensued; the woman (who was bearing another man's child) and the baby died in childbirth. Trevallyn became engaged to three other women but the padre would not let Trevallyn marry them because he did not love him. Trevallyn continued to doubt the curse but he was told that the trouble would come when Raveena became a woman. This is a very involved tale that is hard to synthesize into a few paragraphs. Trust me, when the reader becomes engaged in the book, it is hard to set aside.
One thing I really did not like about the book was the tale that Raveena was writing throughout the story. It broke up the symmetry and flow of the story. I found that it did not increase my enjoyment of the story, in fact, I found it irritating.
