Seth MacGregor is the half-feral, bastard son of a Sithe nobleman. It's the last decade of the sixteenth century, a time of religious wars and witch hunts in the full mortal world. But the Sithe are at peace, until their queen, Kate NicNiven, determines to destroy the protecting veil. When his father Griogair is assassinated, and Seth is exiled with his brother Conal to the full-mortal world, they vow to survive, to return to reclaim their fortress and save the veil. But even its power can't protect the brothers when the witch hunts begin. Suggested level: senior secondary.
