Fane was the first of his kind. His son, Sef, is the first of his kind. Are they a new beginning; or The Lingering Shadows... of the old gods?

DANU
Goddess of Rebirth
Guardian of the Gateway and Time
Matriarch of the Tuatha De Danann
One of the three Fates...

Being the Guardian of the Gateway and Time is a great responsibility.
Knowing the future is an incredible burden.
Assuring that the future is unhindered by the past while simultaneously attempting to save your people from extinction... is an exciting challenge.

DIVONA
Goddess of Fertility
Healer of the Tuatha De Danann
Companion to Danu

When she is sent into the future in order to retrieve King Nuada's sword, she is told by Danu that she is following her destiny. However, finding the sword isn't as easy as she'd thought... and when she finds herself falling for Sef, the handsome and seductive man who has agreed to help her find the sword, she begins to wonder if her destiny is actually the sword... or him.

SEF

He is preparing to follow in his parents' footsteps by closing the door on the past and taking a step into a new beginning, a new identity, the first step, one that will last twenty to thirty years before he is forced to take the second step into another new beginning, another new identity... and then the third... and the fourth... a never-ending series of steps, new beginnings and new identities. Alone. But before the first step is even taken, Divona suddenly appears in his bedchamber. The fiery-haired goddess has been sent to retrieve the sword his father was tasked to guard by the Knights Templar. The sweetly sensual, naïve and incredibly stubborn goddess inflames his senses, making him yearn for a future he had never even dared to hope for... until now. The problem is, although he can sense her attraction to him, she isn't going to let him into her heart without a fight.


Although The Lingering Shadows is a sequel to Darkness... it can be read as a stand-alone.
