Stunning repackage of the story of a woman trapped in the wrong
time. Abandoned by her twentieth century lover, she plots a
terrible revenge on him and his family. Adam Craig is fourteen when
he meets Brid near an isolated Celtic stone in the wild Scottish
Highlands - he is fascinated by her. They become friends, and, in
time, passionate lovers. She leads him, unsuspecting, into the
sixth century, where she has mastered the ancient mysteries and
dangerous magic of the Druids. In her obsession with Adam, Brid is
seen as a traitor by her people, only escaping death by following
Adam to Edinburgh, when he leaves home to study medicine. As the
years pass he makes new friends and finds new love. But Brid is
consumed by jealousy and haunts him like an evil shadow, until,
fifty years on, Adam's granddaughter helps him discover the secret
that will free them from the terror of Brid's curse.
