2nd in the Legends of the Sídhe, Traveler Series, The Quickening draws on ancestral magic, ancient lore and pulls it into today.

Among us walk a race older than time, around us are doorways to other realities and people who are not recognised for who and what they truly are. Among them dwell Hunter and Brighid, Black Annis, Willie the fiddle player and Raven, the most anti-social of them all, and the many others who keep magic alive in the world and who touch, in passing, those who seem lost merely because they have been blinded by disregard. Kathryn and Merrin seem as different as light and dark, but a common thread weaves them into a trap to disrupt the evil of one man, determined to remove the magic from the world, a man whose own motives are hidden even from himself.

The shape of a woman moves from the darkness of the stone’s shadow, a cloak of moths surrounding her insubstantiality. She takes her time. She takes Hunter’s head between both hands, her fingers melting deeply into the thick fur ruff. 

The Quickening is a tale of human cruelty and its redemption. Of enchantment and contemporary folklore, based on ancient legend. If you are lost, and need finding, perhaps the folk will come if you whisper your longing to the night.

Winner of the COVR Visionary Fiction Award, 2006, USA.
