She and her younger brother Paddy flee to an enchanted glen. Lured by a haunting song, Paddy is abducted by forest folk. Perilous obstacles, and a questionable stranger, hinder Ailis' attempts to find her brother or free her fiance until her only hope for survival rests on the magic of the Fae.˃˃˃ A bitter uprising in Ireland is taking place and two siblings are tossed in the battle, facing death, believing in love, and hoping in magic. 1920 found Ireland at the peak of tensions that had been building for centuries.

Four years after the Easter Rising, the pressure became so great, that the southern Irish took up arms against the British and fought for a free nation.
