This is the story of Tadhag and Maire, man and wife from 6th century Ireland, whose life with the faeries leads to quite another existence when they are transported to the war torn Ireland of the 20th century. Tadhag is possessed by The Horned One, a mythical creature who rules the winter month. Maire is possessed by the Goddess who rules the warmer months. It's an entertaining story full of tragedy, death and mythical creatures. Fun read.

Theirs was a love and a battle cry that bridges the centuries. For Tadgh, for Maire, for all Ireland was ther such a thing as "Too Long a Sacrifice"
Magic.. and irresistibel blend of myth and reality that carries the reader from Celtic Ireland to the "troubles" of the Twentieth Century.
