Winter's Handmaiden

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.
