life can be seen as a tapestry of tightly woven threads, each thread linking everything in the web of life, then a darkening colour, a harsh sound, a haunting cry, ripples through the warp and weft to vibrate the threads of time
ancient and mysterious bones, discovered on the Yorkshire Wolds hold a secret hidden for centuries, which must not be revealed
a Grove of Wytches meet to celebrate the Mabon Rite of Equinox in Australia but strange energies are afoot that go beyond mortal comprehension
four young women are brought together in the little Spa town of Springsmeet to work out the riddle of the inexplicable disappearance of their friend and teacher of the Old Ways; a celebrated writer and lecturer.
one, a gifted seer, musician and weaver, will learn of her ancestry long concealed in the veil one will learn of her natural gifts as an artist and writer one will be the gentle guide and healer who nurtures and supports everyone but herself and one must fight to control the anger and pain from the past, to temper and hone it into a tool of great compassion.
all must learn to believe in their own gifts and in the Magick their teacher showed them to travel the portals into the realms where the Fae reside at the times of the year when the veil is thin and the Old Ones walk the land.
many will step forward to assist them in their search as blight spreads sticky dark threads across all the realms to the Birthing Tree where all life must return one day and where for one of them the greatest test to face is that Magick might indeed be real
they must travel the inner realms to discover the truths of life itself
