About this listen

When “Once Upon A Time” becomes a reality.

Lonely archeologist Maryn Ferguson studies the past as if she belongs there, but when she and her team uncover an ancient artifact in the peat bogs of Scotland, her carefully controlled life spins out of control. Pulled under a Fairy Dun by none other than the Celtic goddess of winter, Cailleach, Maryn cannot reconcile the black and white world of academia with a land of fairies, gods, and monsters. Worse yet, the goddess of spring is missing, having failed to meet Cailleach in the usual ritual that ushers in her season. Weak and beleaguered as Winter is, and with no hope of getting home, Maryn must take matters in her own hands.

When disaster strikes and Maryn is plunged into the world of the dead, her carefully bandaged heart threatens unraveling at the hands of Arawn, god of the underworld.

This book was good, but slow going in places. The slow parts did make me consider not finishing but i am glad I persevered through. Overall a good tale.

I really love this book. It's a fantasy book where a god decides to deceive the others to gain power.
Maryn must overcome her fears to advance in this realm. She must find what is worth living (and dying) for and find the strength to react and stand up to her attackers. It's easy to relate to this story as we all have our shadows that prevent us from being ourselves.
The narrator is very good at presenting the story. He is easy to follow as his expressive voice portrays the characters' feelings.

Overcome your fears!
