Notes: "Ireland, 1488: In a land caught between medieval times and the Age of Exploration, an unusual young woman washes ashore on a remote isle off Connemarra. Astonished by her golden skin and raven-black hair, the primitive islanders believe her to be a dark spirit, and set out to capture her. Aedan, a young scholar, travels to the island with his mentor to investigate. But he is unprepared for what will happen when he encounters the girl. Her very existence will challenge his education and notions about the world and its peoples; and the powerful love he comes to feel for her will change his life forever. He must battle the islanders, pirates, his Spanish-born father, a powerful Irish clan and even his own Church in order to save her. The Raven Girl is a novel inspired by actual historic events, exploring the clash of cultures that will emerge with the discovery of the New World and the Americas"--Page 4 of cover.
