With the legends and lore of Ireland running through his blood, falconer Connor O'Dwyer is proud to call County Mayo home. It's where his sister, Branna, lives and works, where his cousin, Iona, has found true love, and where his childhood friends form a circle that can't be broken. But that circle is about to be stretched out of shape by a long-awaited kiss. Meara has the eyes of a gypsy and the body of a goddess, things Connor has always taken for granted, until his brush with death.
