In the predawn hours of a long winter night, Cate is awakened by an ominous precognition. Alone in the big, dark house, surrounded by forest and mountains, a chilly sense of isolation and vulnerability saturates her soul, compelling her to leave the bed and head for the kitchen in search of a hot drink and the comfort of fire. The stairs spiral down in a tower of glass, offering a panoramic view of morning stars and fresh snow. A pair of headlights stream across the meadow and jostle across the icy bridge that traverses the frozen river. When she reaches the foyer, the doorbell is ringing incessantly. Switching on the porch lamps, she is startled to find the man who was once her college lover. He begins to pound on the door, calling her name, demanding entry. Perhaps he has discovered the secret she's been concealing from him for over thirty years? Otherwise, why would he show up unannounced at this most inopportune time? Druscilla French is a lover of magick, mythology, psychology, and literature, from which she weaves fiction of a somewhat mystical nature. Solstice on Ice is the second in a series of books about a multi-generational "family of choice," created and nurtured by Cate--matriarch, conjurer, healer and all around Good Witch. (Fairy Godmother?) The first book, Shadows on Samhain tells the story of Cate, her children, and grandchildren who find themselves in the crosshairs of a group of White Supremacists.
