BLURBS:
It’s been seven years since the love of Cedar
McLeod’s life left with no forwarding address. All she has left of him are
heart-wrenching memories of happier times and a beautiful six-year-old
daughter, Eden. Then, one day, Eden opens her bedroom door and unwittingly
creates a portal that leads to anywhere she imagines.
But they’re not the only ones who know of Eden’s
gift, and soon the child mysteriously vanishes.
Desperate for answers, Cedar digs into the past and
finds herself thrust into a magical world of Celtic myths, fantastical
creatures, and bloody rivalries. Teaming up with the unlikeliest of allies,
Cedar must bridge the gap between two worlds and hold tight to the love in her
heart…or lose everything to an ancient evil.
The first in the Thin Veil series, Through the Door
is a pulse-pounding adventure that takes readers across the globe and deep into
the hidden realms of Celtic lore.
INTO THE FIRE
(Book #2)
Cedar McLeod would like nothing more than to return to Tír na nÓg,
help rebuild the mythical kingdom, and start a new life for herself and her
daughter, Eden. But peace isn’t what Cedar finds after being reunited with her
little girl.
Nuala—who kidnapped and terrorized Eden in her previous bid for
power—has returned and is making a persuasive claim for the vacant throne. The
devastation such a ruler would bring upon both the kingdom and the human world
is unthinkable. With no one else to stake a convincing counter-claim, Cedar
steps forward...but first she must prove her worth beyond a doubt.
Her opportunity comes when she is charged with finding an ancient
treasure, the Stone of Destiny, and returning it to its rightful home. It is a
quest that will lead her to question her beliefs, and push her loyalties to
their limits. If she succeeds, Cedar could grant her new world and her new
family a chance to flourish again. If not...destruction may be the only path
ahead.
Into the Fire, the second book in the Thin Veil series, is a
captivating blend of Celtic myth, mystery, and adventure that delves deeper
into the ancient world first explored in Through the Door.
AMONG THE
UNSEEN (Book #3)
Life just keeps getting more complicated for Cedar McLeod. As the
recently crowned queen of Tír na nÓg, she’s trying to understand her magical
new kingdom, even as she misses her life back on Earth. It doesn’t help that a
dear friend has just betrayed her—a betrayal that almost cost Cedar and her
family their lives. And things aren’t easy at home, either, as Cedar’s
seven-year-old daughter, Eden, lost and lonely in Tír na nÓg despite her
special powers, has become painfully distant.
Cedar vows to do whatever it takes to protect her family once and
for all, and starts rounding up those who plotted against her. But then a new
disaster breaks out: a mysterious sickness is plaguing the Unseen, Ireland’s
magical creatures, including those Cedar knows and loves. With enemies still on
the loose and not knowing whom she can trust, Cedar must race against time to
reverse an ancient curse, in a journey that will take her from Tír na nÓg to
Earth…and beyond.
Brimming with page-turning adventure, Among the Unseen—the
exciting conclusion to Jodi McIsaac’s Thin Veil trilogy—weaves an enchanting,
captivating spell.
EXCERPT:
INTO THE FIRE (BOOK 2):
She
felt certain that if she could only get inside Maeve’s private sanctuary, all
of her questions would be answered.
She
placed her hand on the rough wood of the door. “Open,” she whispered, feeling
foolish. She glanced over at the tree under which the women were buried, then
turned back to the door. “Mum?” she whispered. “It’s okay now. You can let me
in. Let me in.” Nothing happened.
Cedar
kicked at the door in frustration, and the wood creaked. Encouraged, she kicked
it again. Then she took several steps back and flung herself shoulder-first
into the door.
She
was not expecting the explosion. A loud crack like a rifle shot ruptured the
silence of the evening, and a force like a hot wind sent Cedar flying backward
through the air. She landed hard on the gravel driveway amid a torrent of red
sparks. Her head hit something hard, and she felt the darkness close in on her.
When
she opened her eyes again, something was obscuring her view. She could see a
rim of light in her peripheral vision. It surrounded the object in front of her
like a halo. She recognized it as the porch light. The sky was black; night had
fallen. She started to sit up and winced as a sudden burst of pain shot through
her head.
“Wait,”
the object said. “Let me help you.”
She
felt herself being gently lifted into a sitting position. The world swam around
her, and she closed her eyes, waiting for the pain in her head to subside.
After a moment she opened her eyes again and blinked a few times. Gradually,
the object in front of her came into focus. It was a man. He was kneeling
beside her, his light gray eyes fixed on her with concern. He was handsome,
though old enough to be her father. His shaggy brown hair was generously
flecked with gray, his long face was lined and pale, and he was wearing a worn
brown leather jacket over beige pants and a buttoned shirt. Behind him, the
workshop looked as intact and impenetrable as always, despite the blast that
had knocked Cedar off her feet.
