The characters were very well created. You could easily identify their personalities which made the reading so much more enjoyable.The Maclachlan Clan: Gilchrist (father and head of clan), Flora (mother and wife of Gilchrist) Morif (heir apparant and oldest son) Garrick ( protecter of heir and brother) Marjorie, Jill, Maud, Christianna daughters of Gilchrist and Flora Maclachan.Eve (village laundress) Ada (foster mother, healer and sometimes visionary, and Linnette (a bastard child and raised as a servant.William Mauvais ( Lord of family run down estate.) Ranard Mauvais (nephew of William Mauvais)All of these character are very well portrayed.The Evil one: Ranard Mauvais.The powerful and strong one, but obediant son: Garrick Maclachlan:The Lady with a tremendous guilt and the weight of Ada's horrifying vision of her death: Linnette.A crippled old woman with arthritis and a healer visited periodically by the Old Ones giving her visions of future events, and foster mother: Ada.The Vision:A man, his face shrouded in darkness, stood on the hill. His head blazed with radiance as if the sun circled his face with a scarlet heat. He raised corded arms to capture the full moon. Clenching hands marred with lightning strikes of white, the man bellowed his rage. This stranger would come.The Cloud passed, obscuring the image and then the darkness parted to reveal a woman with golden hair standing in the circle of the full moon, her eyes glistened with tears. She wore a thin, drab dress. A servant.As a blanket of pristine snow fell upon her shoulders she knelt on the ground.Blood. The servant had been drenched in blood.I hope this whets your appetite!!  It gave me several hours of reading pleasure.
