Grace Knox is about to turn seventeen, and the world of
Victorian New York society should be opening to her—a time of dances and
parties and boys vying for her heart and her hand. Instead, Grace’s world is
closing in: the family business is gone; her brother is drinking and gambling
away whatever is left; her widowed mother cannot cope; and her grandmother is
slipping into madness. And now Grace is having disturbing dreams of ancient
battles.
Grace’s only hope is to marry Patrick Devlin and let his fortune save them all. But she isn’t sure she loves Patrick, and she doesn’t share his passion to free Ireland from British rule. Why look to Ireland when there is so much poverty and despair here?
Then Grace meets Diarmid, an Irish stableboy. Being with him means losing everything. But the secrets and mystery surrounding him are too compelling to ignore. Soon Grace is drawn into his world of legend and heroes, magic and prophecy—the world of her dreams—where her own choice between faith and fear holds the greatest power of all.

Christy – ☆☆☆☆
Let me say this is the 1st YA book in a while to really grab my interest. This book gives me some of all my favorite things. A love triangle, gods, and of course a good old prophecy that has been lost in the sea of time. There is a slow build in this book that I enjoy that has the characters come more alive this way. I enjoyed the twist towards the end, I was taken totally off character with it! (I LOVE WHEN THIS HAPPENS.) I cannot wait to start book 2. One of the better reads for me. <3
