A Mirror of Shadows

It was a dark mirror...ancient. The images it revealed were visions of the future that only women descended from the Irish Queen Maeve were able to discern. Beautiful Maeve O'Hanlon cherished the mirror, for in its pale luster she saw the fine features of the man she would marry and glimpsed the face of the child she would someday bear. The mirror was her guide and her guardian. She would need its protection against the rich, powerful Cameron's, her husband's family. They were absolute monarchs in their town and scheming, merciless enemies of the Irish girl who dared to marry Joel Cameron.
