When a pagan priest is unearthed in Ireland fifteen hundred years after being entombed, archaeologist Caitlin O'Connell is convinced it's the find of the century. The body is in perfect condition. In fact, if scientific data hadn't proved otherwise, she would swear he hadn't been interred more than a few hours. Caitlin accompanies the body back to the New York museum where she's employed, but before she has time to study him, the priest disappears. Rumors surrounding the event begin to circulate. After being buried alive for betraying his goddess and his priesthood in the dawning age of Christianity, Ciar?n wakes to a strange new world. Alone and frightened, he seeks sanctuary within the church walls. With the help of the parish's pastor, Father Mike, Ciar?n grows accustomed to his surroundings. But an immediate danger lurks on his doorstep. Caitlin is determined to get to the bottom of the missing Celt, and when she meets her Uncle Mike's new handyman, Ciar?n, she's convinced he knows more about the theft than he's letting on. Yet, even she can't deny the attraction between them. But will Ciar?n's secrets draw them together or shatter their future? Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

I am seriously torn about this book. It ticks off so many boxes for me. It is a wonderfully written story. It shows excellent world-building as it explores more and more of Ciaran’s past and pulls the duality into the modern story. It is a seamless integration of fantasy and contemporary fiction. Also, the characters are fleshed out in spectacular ways. I am simply in love with Fathers Michael and Dennis and I could adopt Mary with her amazing family. Ciaran maintains an innocent look on life even having faced what he has. The only question mark in the main characters is Caitlin. Not sure she is really likable or good enough for Ciaran, but it feels like it was intended for her to be that way rather than just the way she comes off to the reader. My main issue is that this book is almost 400 pages of primarily set up for the continuing story. Still, I am so excited about what happens next. ( )
