"Love, loss, and desperation collide in a world where every choice carries the weight of destiny, and every action could tip the balance between salvation or annihilation.
Cailleach has been maiden and mother, but as Samhain dawns, she must face the cruel consequences of the prophecy and now embrace the crone. With her world teetering on the brink of destruction, and burdened by the loss of her daughter, she is forced to navigate the treacherous landscape of war. But coming face-to-face with the man who killed her lover places everything at risk. She must hold onto her strength lest she lose herself and become the monster she seeks to destroy.
In the present, hope is a fragile flame in the wind as Samhain draws ever closer. With one enemy put to rest, Brydie now turns to facing her final altercation with the Dark One and ensuring the futures of those she loves. But as she navigates a complex web of alliances and enmities, each stolen moment with her Guardian is cherished, even as it is overshadowed by a secret that threatens to ruin all.

"What is power without control?
In return for siding with the enemy, Brydie is given the secret to unlocking the full power of her birthright. But no power comes without consequence, and she must learn to become the master, rather than the victim.
Time is inevitably swallowed as Brydie grapples for the place she is owed. Her training is dogged by tales of horror, for not only has the leader of their Druidic clan fallen to the darkness, but he also holds an object of power that could plunge the world into a bone-chilling nightmare.
As the future of her people and control of her power hang in the balance, Brydie soon comes to understand that her guardian is her only shield against the coming storm.

"She thought she was ready to embrace her destiny.
She was wrong.
Brydie MacKay has accepted that she is the last Daughter of Winter. Her old life soon becomes a distant memory as she is initiated into a world of druidic magic. However, the further Brydie delves into her legacy, the more she realizes that she is up against impossible odds. Training is brutal beyond imagining, and the full power of her birthright eludes her. To make matters worse, everyone has an agenda—even the man required by prophecy to protect her.
It soon becomes clear that Brydie must prove not only to herself but to all the other descendants that she is worthy of her legacy. However, time is not on her side. Samhain is approaching, and Brydie can never forget that the Dark One is watching, readying himself for his inevitable attack.

"Marked by an ancient prophecy wielded by the gods.
Shackled to a dark, enigmatic stranger.
And prey to a powerful adversary seeking vengeance.
Her life will never be the same again . . .
Intrigue and danger enter Brydie MacKay's life when Gage walks into her carefully controlled world. He brings news that her grandmother has died, and as her last living relative, Brydie has inherited her estate and must travel to Scotland to accept her legacy and all it entails. Brydie doesn't want the inheritance, not after the way she was treated, and when a series of actions unfold that illustrate her 'legacy' is not just a physical entity but a turbulent birthright proclaiming she is the descendant of the Celtic winter goddess, Cailleach Bheur, she tries to run.
But Gage won't take no for an answer. He has his own role to fulfill and will do whatever it takes to ensure Brydie returns to Scotland with him—even if that means taking her against her will.
