Book Summary

After a rough stint at work in the ER, Dillon Kelly is more than a little ready for a vacation when he packs his bags and sets off on a camping trip in the wilds of Ireland. But when a mysterious dagger covered in druidic markings appears in his backpack, Dillon finds himself hurtled into the fourteenth century. Thrust into the legends and politics of ancient Ireland, he is rescued from suspicious locals by a beautiful young woman named Ailish.

Ailish has always dreamed of being a bard, but there’s just one problem: women aren’t allowed. Determined to follow her heart, Ailish has fooled everyone into thinking she’s a boy—everyone, that is, except for Dillon. He’s agreed to keep her secret in exchange for her help in finding his way home to his own time. Despite the impossible barriers between them, feelings beyond friendship soon blossom. But more than just their budding romance is in danger. Ailish isn’t the only one who recognizes the dagger’s druidic significance, and there are those who would stop at nothing to harness its time-bending powers.

My Review

Time Travel books have always fascinated me. I also love to read books set in Medieval times. This sets the perfect premise for a really good book. Dillon comes from our modern time and ends up in the 14th century. The humor is real as he realizes what has happened and he keeps referring to things from his own time. Of course that makes him seem very strange to the people living in times of yore. 

Dillon soon meets Ailish, who from outward appearances is a boy, but she is a girl. She wants to be a bard but only males can train as one. The one thing that brings Dillon and Ailish together is a mysterious dagger that is given to Dillon before he travels back in time. I don't want to say more because too much said will ruin this great story. 

I loved the setting in ancient Ireland. There were beautiful, rich details that took you right there. The characters were strong and determined whether it was the good or the bad guys. Ailish had to be my favorite character as she'd lived through many hardships and is determined to reach her goals and dreams. 

There is a mild romance that is included but I loved the mystery behind the dagger the most. Where does the power come from? Who can wield the power that the druid dagger gives? If you want to know more, you are going to have to plod along to Amazon.com and get your own copy.
