A woman foretells the death of the man she's destined to love and must defy fate to save him.
For centuries, ireann has traveled alone across Ireland with nothing but visions from Death and a compulsion to warn people of their impending doom. That is, until Death sends her to the English countryside, where she meets Elin, a fellow countryman returning home after fighting in the Napoleonic wars.
Both Elin and ireann are weary of traveling the long road alone and need only reach out to find comfort in each other's company. But when ireann receives a startling vision of them kissing beneath a yew tree, followed by a dark omen foretelling Elin's demise, a heartbreaking truth is unveiled: he might not live long enough to make the journey home. Or for them to fall in love.
Death is playing cruel games with their lives and hearts. But there's a silver lining to seeing his death before it unfolds. If ireann can stop it before it happens, Elin just might have a chance at love and a life that finally belongs to him. And nothing will stop ireann from securing their future. Not even Death itself.
