“But Eru had made Men, and they were given the gift of freedom; and they would have their own fate.” —The Silmarillion, Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age, ──────────────────────────────────── Maya Sinclair returns to Moher, Ireland, seeking solace in a brief escape from the harrowings and stresses of medical school. But what begins as a tranquil reunion with an old friend quickly takes an unexpected turn when a venture into the hidden caves along the cliffs pulls her into an entirely different world — one shaped by ancient powers, rife with strife and turmoil, and inhabited by strange, strange beings. Trapped in such a realm, Maya must navigate a land where survival demands confronting forces far beyond her understanding, all the while searching for a way back home.
