A foreboding dream, a deadly bombing, and a centuries-old mystery - can Nuala and Dermot unravel the twisted tapestry of lies and secrets before it's too late?

In this latest tale of Irish Crystal, the engagingly fey heroine Nuala Anne McGrail is haunted by a dream of terrible impending evil. Her adoring husband, Dermot Michael Coyne, knows better than to ignore his wife's second sight, but the source of the peril remains unclear. Could it be the Homeland Security agents determined to deport Irish-born Nuala, the spiteful neighbors campaigning against their beloved Irish wolfhounds, or the prosperous Curran clan with whom they've recently become acquainted?

The danger becomes shockingly apparent when a catastrophic car-bombing rocks the Chicago riverfront. As Nuala and Dermot work to uncover the twisted minds behind the attack, they find themselves enmeshed in a complex web of deceit. Nuala's preternatural instincts also lead her to a forgotten manuscript revealing treachery and tragedy in Irish history: the saga of bold Robert Emmet and the failed uprisings of 1798 and 1803.

Caught between the past and the present, this charming couple must navigate a myriad of mysteries, but they're determined to make the truth as clear as Irish Crystal.
