The Battle is O'er

Book Five of The Blue Bells Chronicles

Prologue


rose window, chartres, time travel fiction

The explosion of thunder—rare in winter—drew Niall’s eyes up from prayer just as lightning flashed across the rose window. It lit the statue of Mary and danced across the polished backs of the pews in the small chapel and disappeared, leaving Niall, Hugh, and the Laird once more in only the flickering light of candles.




A chill shot down Niall’s spine. It was only the chill of the long ride, he told himself. But his eyes locked on the statue. The air wavered before her. Voices cut the silence—a deep, angry voice, and a rasping elderly one, that seemed to laugh.

  2. Both of my parents' families have Celtic roots with my maternal ancestors coming from Northern Ireland, and my paternal ancestors being members of Clan MacFarlane from Arrochar, Scotland. To be able to stand on the soil of my ancestors would fulfill one of my greatest dreams! I cannot wait to read the new book!

  5. I have always wanted to go to scotland. I am not sure a whole lot about the area but when I lived in england it was always on my radar. People in england always talked about the area as picturesque and scenic but they are english as you would know it. I love castles and old ruins and a feeling of belonging to a distant past.
