Madeline Murphy was born with "the sight". Raised by her grandmother on the west coast of Ireland, she learned to see her special talent as a gift, not a burden. When her grandmother's friend shows up with a jar of dirt and a mystery to solve, it sends Madeline on a journey into the past to solve a medieval crime.
Fate has her enlisting the help of Brennan O'Connor, a handsome and intriguing Irish history professor. The line between history and myth blurs, as they discover that the mystery is deeper, older and more sinister, involving a medieval monastery, a girl with a secret life, and an Abbot with dark intentions.
Together Madeline and Brennan unravel this long-buried mythically charged crime and find their own path towards the future.
