Feeling the effects of the Covid pandemic, Jenni's and her two friends
slip through time with the help of a Tree Spirit. Welcomed into a
Neolithic family, they join a
midwinter journey for celebrations at the newly finished
Stonehenge. While there they discover that they aren't the only
mysterious strangers. Jenni feels
uncomfortable around these
bronze wielding newcomers. Warned of an
impending threat by the intriguing
Earth Spirit, Jenni manages to secrete a special herb that might prove to be a lifeline for her
Stone Age friends. To show their gratitude for this and the discovery that one of them is the
re-incarnation of Jenni's special friend from her past visits, the family arrange for a
special ceremony at the
stone circle. As a result, Jenni finally
reconciles a deep and painful longing from her early childhood and learns to accept a situation in her 21st century life that she resented.
Linking with characters from previous books, secrets are discovered and a new understanding of the connections between the builders of the stone circles and the magical realm of Earth Spirits is created.
The third in the series of Pam C. Golden's unique time slip adventures continues to be inspired by her love of the Earth, her fascination with nature spirits, stone circles and ancient ways of life.
