A cry for help, echoing across the centuries, inspires a young teacher to rewrite history and rediscover a passion she only dreamed about . . .



Life is good for Katie Coyle. She's delighted with her new position as a professor of Irish literature and history, and enchanted by the old cottage on the cliff overlooking a beach that she now calls home. But she can't shake the feeling that something—or someone—else calls the cottage home, and that in the night, echoes of an anguished voice calling for help haunt the beach below.



When Katie first meets Derry O'Riordan, an Irishman claiming to study a set of standing stones in the middle of the woods, she takes his story at face value. But when her life is threatened and her job is jeopardized, Katie realizes that more is at stake than just the confirmation of a fascinating historical footnote. In the end, a man's honor, the truth, and her own life hang in the balance.
