Blurb
Unearthed Secrets, Timeless Love, and an Ancient Darkness Awakened…
When archaeologist Caitlin O’Connell uncovers the perfectly preserved body of a fifth-century pagan priest in Ireland, she knows she’s made the discovery of a lifetime. His intricate tattoos and eerily lifelike appearance defy time itself—if not for scientific evidence, she’d swear he had only just been buried. But before she can begin her research, the body vanishes without a trace, sending shockwaves through the archaeological community. Whispers of the supernatural swirl, and soon, the excavation’s funding is cut, threatening to bury the mystery forever.
But Ciarán, the man entombed for fifteen hundred years, isn’t just an artifact—he’s alive. Betrayed by his own priesthood and cursed for his defiance in the dawning age of Christianity, he awakens in a strange, modern world. Alone and disoriented, he seeks refuge within a church, where Father Mike offers him guidance. Yet, Ciarán’s past refuses to stay buried. Plagued by haunting dreams and a growing sense of an ancient evil lingering at the edges of his new reality, he fears his punishment may not be over.
Caitlin is determined to unravel the truth behind the missing Celt, but when she meets her uncle’s mysterious new handyman—Ciarán Donnelly—the pieces begin to fall into place. He’s hiding something. And while her instincts tell her he’s connected to the theft, her heart warns her of something far more dangerous—an undeniable attraction that defies logic and time itself.
But as their fates entwine, dark forces from Ciarán’s past stir once more. Will their growing love be strong enough to bridge the centuries, or will the secrets he carries destroy them both?
Author bio
Andrea Matthews is the pseudonym for Inez Foster, a historian and librarian who loves to read and write and search around for her roots, genealogical speaking. She has a BA in History and an MLS in Library Science, and enjoys the research almost as much as she does writing the story. In fact, many of her ideas come to her while doing casual research or digging into her family history. She is the author of the Thunder on the Moor series set on the 16th century Anglo-Scottish Border, and the Cross of Ciaran series, where a fifteen hundred year old Celt finds himself in the twentieth century. Andrea also writes historical mysteries under the pen name I. M. Foster. Her series A South Shore Mystery is set in the early 1900s on Long Island. Andrea is a member of the Long Island Romance Writers, and the Historical Novel Society.
