Their love was meant to be.

When Megan Rosenberg moves to Ireland, everything in her life seems to fall into place. After growing up in America, she's surprised to find herself feeling at home in her new school. She connects with a group of friends, and she is instantly drawn to darkly handsome Adam DeRís.

But Megan is about to discover that her feelings for Adam are tied to a fate that was sealed long ago—and that the passion and power that brought them together could be their ultimate destruction.

      When 17-year-old Megan and her father move to Ireland, Megan finds herself drawn to the mysterious Adam DeR’s. Narrator Nicola Barber captures Megan's curiosity and awe as she realizes that she and Adam share powers that have passed through generations from the time of the Druids. Barber moves fluidly between American and Irish accents, creating voices for each character and adding both mood and interest with her animated reading. This story is more romance than fantasy, and Barber's strong characterizations help listeners remain engaged and suspend disbelief as the plot becomes complicated. Listeners will root for Megan as she grows into her power. A.F. (c) AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine

      Fallon’s debut novel, first published on the HarperCollins online writing community inkpop.com and then selected for print, is a better-than-average offering that occasionally betrays its amateur roots with some uneven pacing. The setup is familiar and briskly handled: 17-year-old Megan Rosenberg has moved to Kinsale, Ireland, with her father after several unsettled years following the death of Megan’s mother. Megan fits right in with the popular crowd at her new school, but a broodingly handsome boy, Adam DeRís, keeps staring at her, and Megan stares right back, despite her friends’ warnings. Several chapters of teenage day-in-the-life narration ensue before Fallon suddenly dumps mysterious marks, elemental forces, and the Celtic goddess Danu into the mix, and the story takes off in a paranormal direction that the first third of the book has only hinted at. The intense, immediate romance between Megan and Adam remains the focus and the main draw. It’s an engaging story, heavy on the “snogging” and light on the mystical perils, from an author likely to improve with time. Ages 13–up.
