Beth Carter is an Archaeologist with a knack for finding Celtic burial mounds.  She touches maps and "reads" where the mounds are.  Unfortunately, Frank, her ex-husband, took credit for many of her earlier finds, and now Beth has a problem getting funding for digs in her name.  Everyone in academia thinks that Frank is the driving force behind these finds, so she is forced to pair up with him if she wants to head a dig.Their newest mound that they found has a strange feeling to it.  Almost as if the inhabitant just left for a few moments, and will be coming right back.......little do they know.....Conn is a Fae Warrior, imprisoned millennia ago by the Druids.  He felt Beth and Frank at his mound/tomb, and has risen to find out more about them.What follows is, as another reviewer said, a new twist on the Fae/Druid relationship in ancient Celtic mythology.  The action is fast paced, the plot is pretty good, and the introduction of new characters is done well.  There is a setup in this book for the next two books.  We find out why Beth can do what she does, and interesting plot lines develop.  I thought the book was a good read, I read it in one sitting.  It kept my interest.  There were a few "R" rated sex scenes, but not over the top.  I am interested to see where DL McDermott goes with the character development in the next book ( which had a teaser at the end of this one).  I would recommend this as a new series, to those that like the Fae/Druid/Celtic myth and legend genre.
