Are some wounds unforgiveable ~ and some souls irredeemable? Padraig Ua Conchobhair, son of the ard-rí , poet of Érenn, has tapped into an ancient power in his desire to be the memory and the strength of his people. Failed, stripped of rank and purpose, he is an outcast on a remote island. Brígh, unwanted daughter, shepherdess turned scholar, must decide if she can forgive the man who took something of inestimable value from her only to purposely lose it. Her unwanted choice opens a path for Padraig. Taking it might cost him everything: his connection to the land, his gifts as poet and musician, all the memory-knowledge he has gleaned--even his own memory. He would also lose the ability to enter the realm where a desperately sought-after infant is hidden. Could it gain him something far greater than what he would lose? Padraig and Brígh discover that when there is a guiding Hand, broken lives can be woven together into something stronger than ever.
