I listen to music while reading, and I matched this book up with Lorenna McKennitt’s “An Ancient Muse”. Celtic places, names and legends are woven throughout this novel. Luaine’s father is Cuchulainn, Ulster’s fiercest warrior. As a young girl she loses her parents in a battle. Forced into a loveless marriage to an older King, she goes into hiding when she discovers she’s been cursed. Druids, magic and ravens also play a part in this historical fantasy.
I like how the author included a list of pronunciations for the Gaelic names at the end of the book.
