Happily Ever After
When Lissan sees her parents disappear into the fairy ring for which she was named, her curiosity gets the better of her and she follows them... only to be transported from the year 1900 to the year 1115!  She finds herself in a brutal battle and is rescued by Rory O'Connor of Connaught.  Lissan can't explain her appearance in his time, or how she avoided injury when struck with a broadsword.  What Lissan doesn't know is that she is half-fairy.  Her father, Lord Comlan, is King of the Tuatha de Danann and married her mortal mother.  Now Lissan is trapped in another time and must find a way to return home.  Convinced that the beauty who appears from nowhere is a spy for King Henry, Rory tries to avoid her charms.  But while he believes she is a spy, others think she is the legendary White Witch.  Rory is only concerned with protecting Connaught from the marauding troops of Munster.  It was predicted by a great seeress that the White Witch would point the way for Connaught--  either to slavery or safety through victory.  Rory doesn't believe the legend but can't explain Lissan's appearance.  Discovering she is half-fairy gives Lissan the answers to her arrival in 1115 but doesn't answer her question of whether she is indeed the White Witch.  She can't leave Connaught until she knows if she is supposed to play a part in their history.  But the longer she stays in the past the closer she gets to the people who have become part of her new life--  especially Rory.  Marylyle Rogers has created a wonderful book that is part historical, part fantasy, part time travel and completely enthralling!
