"Shy, happily married, content woman & scholar, Grace St. John, through her work (specializing in ancient manuscripts) stumbles across a legend that holds the key to unlimited power. This power is supposed to be used for the good of humanity but another's quest for it causes Grace's family to be wiped out. In her search for the meaning of this power and her loss, Grace steps back to 14th century Scotland and meets Black Niall, the Guardian of the ancient power. They struggle to protect each other and the treasure and find themselves caught in the timeless battle of evil and good - past and future."
Susan, Resident Scholar
