When archaeologist Shannon Bram receives the coveted Kearney Grant to excavate on the Kearney family’s ancient Irish lands, she's beyond elated. She has no idea why renowned recluse Aiden Kearney picked her instead of one of her more experienced peers. The moment she arrives at the infamous castle outside of Clonakilty, Shannon feels a sense of familiarity, not only with the town and the Kearney lands, but also with the handsome and mysterious Aiden. She knows well the folktale of the raging dragon, the beast tamed by a maiden meant to be his sacrifice. What she doesn't know is that dragons are real, and so is the legend. And Shannon is the key to a mystery eight-hundred-years-old—and a love that has never died.
