Tir Alainn Triolgy Book 1

Ari is the last witch of her line. She lives on the outskirts and helps those who don’t want to acknowledge her unless they need something. Her family has taken care of their land and kept things growing. Then a chance encounter with a Fae, has upended her quiet life. Soon there is also talk of men who question the old ways as well. Ari must make some hard choices, but those choices have some hard consequences as well.

This is the first book in the Tir Alainn Triolgy. Ari is a brilliant witch who has been taught to be careful of the Fae, and for good reason. Lucian is used to getting exactly what he wants and finds Ari fascinating, as does his sister Dianna in her own way. Neall is the strong and sturdy friend, and maybe a bit more, of Ari’s. Their relationship is endearing. The world is dark and dirty with witch hunters and Fae roaming the land, which makes for dark times for the witches. The magic system in this book is beautiful. I loved reading this book and can’t wait to read the next book in the series, Shadows and Light.

Product description and Images are from amazon.com:

“The youngest in a long line of witches, Ari senses that things are changing—changing for the worse. For generations, her kin have tended the Old Places, keeping the land safe and fertile. But with the Summer Moon, the mood of her neighbors has soured. And Ari is no longer safe.

The Fae have long ignored what occurs in the mortal world, passing through on their shadowy roads only long enough to amuse themselves. But the roads are slowly disappearing, leaving the Fae Clans isolated and alone.

Where harmony between the spiritual and the natural has always reigned, a dissonant chord now rings in the ears of both Fae and mortal. And when murmurs of a witch-hunt hum through the town, some begin to wonder if the different omens are notes in the same tune.

And all they have to guide them is a passing reference to something called the Pillars of the World...”
