In glens of Eire, the Sidhe once reigned, but their rule is nearly over as mankind with its iron swords threatens the very existence of magical beings. Queen Scahta realizes her people need a miracle or a simply demise. With another bad harvest, food is scarce and she knows the only hope to stop this genocide is for her to find a spouse to serve as the king, but this individual must contain a special soul.

Scahta begins testing the males of her species, but no one seems deserving until a member of the enemy steps forward. Anlon is a man yet Scahta sees the dignity of his soul and knows he is the one, but her people will never accept the outsider even as she and he fall in love with one another.

Fans who enjoy an enchanting tale of yore will want to read SISTER OF THE MOON. The story line is fun in one sense as Anlon struggles for acceptance from the Sidhe and especially his beloved. Still the plot contains a serious undertone as a species nears extinction. Anlon is a hero in every sense of the word while Scahta does the right thing for her people even at personal cost. Janeen O'Kerry provides readers with a magical ancient Celtic romance.
