The Dark Mirror

Bridei Chronicles Book 1

The homeland of the Picts is under threat from the Gaels, who have established a new kingdom on the west coast. The Christian faith is taking hold, and the leaders of Fortriu are struggling to maintain their ancient traditions. Young Bridei, a little-known son of the royal line, is sent to live with the king’s druid and powerbroker, Broichan. At his remote forest home, Broichan sets about training the boy in the ways of the ancients and preparing him to be a leader of men.

But Broichan has not allowed for the Good Folk, well-known workers of tricky magic. When young Bridei discovers a strange baby girl abandoned on the doorstep in the chill of the winter solstice, he takes her into the house. And the druid discovers that there is one power at work that may be too strong for him to control; one unpredictable factor that could become the death of his dreams.
