When a woman cursed with visions of death meets a weary soldier returning home to Ireland, she sees something she's never dared hope for—a future together beneath a yew tree. But Éireann's gift becomes a curse when she glimpses the dark omen that will steal Elin from her before their story even begins, forcing her into an impossible race against Death itself. Centuries of solitude have taught her to accept fate, but this time she's willing to defy it all for the chance to build a life with the one person who finally understands her weariness. In this haunting, folkloric romance, two lonely souls discover that sometimes the greatest act of love is refusing to surrender to destiny.
