THE THIN VEIL SERIES
by Jodi
McIsaac
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURBS:
It’s been seven years since the love of Cedar McLeod’s life left with
no forwarding address. All she has left of him are heart-wrenching memories of
happier times and a beautiful six-year-old daughter, Eden. Then, one day, Eden
opens her bedroom door and unwittingly creates a portal that leads to anywhere
she imagines.
But they’re not the only ones who know of Eden’s gift, and soon the
child mysteriously vanishes.
Desperate for answers, Cedar digs into the past and finds herself
thrust into a magical world of Celtic myths, fantastical creatures, and bloody
rivalries. Teaming up with the unlikeliest of allies, Cedar must bridge the gap
between two worlds and hold tight to the love in her heart…or lose everything
to an ancient evil.
The first in the Thin Veil series, Through the Door is a
pulse-pounding adventure that takes readers across the globe and deep into the
hidden realms of Celtic lore.
INTO THE FIRE (Book #2)
Cedar
McLeod would like nothing more than to return to Tír na nÓg, help rebuild the
mythical kingdom, and start a new life for herself and her daughter, Eden. But
peace isn’t what Cedar finds after being reunited with her little girl.
Nuala—who
kidnapped and terrorized Eden in her previous bid for power—has returned and is
making a persuasive claim for the vacant throne. The devastation such a ruler
would bring upon both the kingdom and the human world is unthinkable. With no
one else to stake a convincing counter-claim, Cedar steps forward...but first
she must prove her worth beyond a doubt.
Her
opportunity comes when she is charged with finding an ancient treasure, the
Stone of Destiny, and returning it to its rightful home. It is a quest that will
lead her to question her beliefs, and push her loyalties to their limits. If
she succeeds, Cedar could grant her new world and her new family a chance to
flourish again. If not...destruction may be the only path ahead.
Into
the Fire, the second book in the Thin Veil series, is a captivating blend of
Celtic myth, mystery, and adventure that delves deeper into the ancient world
first explored in Through the Door.
AMONG THE UNSEEN (Book #3)
Life
just keeps getting more complicated for Cedar McLeod. As the recently crowned
queen of Tír na nÓg, she’s trying to understand her magical new kingdom, even
as she misses her life back on Earth. It doesn’t help that a dear friend has
just betrayed her—a betrayal that almost cost Cedar and her family their lives.
And things aren’t easy at home, either, as Cedar’s seven-year-old daughter,
Eden, lost and lonely in Tír na nÓg despite her special powers, has become
painfully distant.
Cedar
vows to do whatever it takes to protect her family once and for all, and starts
rounding up those who plotted against her. But then a new disaster breaks out:
a mysterious sickness is plaguing the Unseen, Ireland’s magical creatures,
including those Cedar knows and loves. With enemies still on the loose and not
knowing whom she can trust, Cedar must race against time to reverse an ancient
curse, in a journey that will take her from Tír na nÓg to Earth…and beyond.
Brimming
with page-turning adventure, Among the Unseen—the exciting conclusion to Jodi
McIsaac’s Thin Veil trilogy—weaves an enchanting, captivating spell.
EXCERPT:
She felt
certain that if she could only get inside Maeve’s private sanctuary, all of her
questions would be answered.
She placed
her hand on the rough wood of the door. “Open,” she whispered, feeling foolish.
She glanced over at the tree under which the women were buried, then turned
back to the door. “Mum?” she whispered. “It’s okay now. You can let me in. Let
me in.” Nothing happened.
Cedar kicked
at the door in frustration, and the wood creaked. Encouraged, she kicked it
again. Then she took several steps back and flung herself shoulder-first into
the door.
She was not
expecting the explosion. A loud crack like a rifle shot ruptured the silence of
the evening, and a force like a hot wind sent Cedar flying backward through the
air. She landed hard on the gravel driveway amid a torrent of red sparks. Her
head hit something hard, and she felt the darkness close in on her.
When she
opened her eyes again, something was obscuring her view. She could see a rim of
light in her peripheral vision. It surrounded the object in front of her like a
halo. She recognized it as the porch light. The sky was black; night had
fallen. She started to sit up and winced as a sudden burst of pain shot through
her head.
“Wait,” the
object said. “Let me help you.”
She felt
herself being gently lifted into a sitting position. The world swam around her,
and she closed her eyes, waiting for the pain in her head to subside. After a
moment she opened her eyes again and blinked a few times. Gradually, the object
in front of her came into focus. It was a man. He was kneeling beside her, his
light gray eyes fixed on her with concern. He was handsome, though old enough
to be her father. His shaggy brown hair was generously flecked with gray, his
long face was lined and pale, and he was wearing a worn brown leather jacket
over beige pants and a buttoned shirt. Behind him, the workshop looked as
intact and impenetrable as always, despite the blast that had knocked Cedar off
her feet.
