Dearg-Due: The Blood Woman - Paperback

by Stephen F. Myler (Author)

Dearg-Due begins life as a strikingly beautiful young woman in a quiet rural village. Her beauty is not merely physical; she possesses a gentle spirit, a keen mind, and a quiet strength that draws admiration from all who meet her. Yet beauty in a harsh world becomes a curse. Suitors arrive from distant towns, each seeking to claim her as a prize. Her father, a man worn down by poverty and ambition, sees her not as a daughter but as a means to elevate his status. Dearg-Due senses danger in the attention but remains hopeful that her life will be her own. Her innocence and optimism form a poignant contrast to the darkness that soon approaches. When she seeks revenge the old ways come to her through the ancient stones.
