Book Description

A Gotham Writers' Young Adult Novel Discovery Contest Top Six Finalist.

"Since I was a little girl I've been labeled a freak in my small town. There's no blending in when your mom practices an ancient pagan religion and everyone believes she's a witch. On my 15th birthday my secret wish is the same as always - to just be normal. But that's not what I get. Not even close." - Brigit Quinn

Instead, Brigit is shocked to learn she's descended from a legendary Celtic tribe - powerful people who serve as guardians of the stone circles of Ireland. A spellbound book of family history reveals the magical powers of her ancestors. Powers that could be hers - if only she wanted them.

And when someone sinister and evil returns to steal her family's strength, Brigit has to make a decision. Fight to keep her unique heritage or reject it for the normal life she's always wanted.

This contemporary coming-of-age novel will appeal to teen (and adult) readers who enjoy stories of magic steeped in the mysticism surrounding the standing stone circles of Ireland.
