Maeve is drawn to Catle Tullamore after a painful divorce - it seems the best place to get in touch with her history and move on from her disasterous relationship. Tullamore is full of legends and myths, but the one that draws Maeve the most is the story of the griffin. When strange things begin to happen she chalks it up to an overactive imagination at first, but soon the flashbacks to an ancient time become more and more real.

These flashbacks were by far my favorite part of the story. While they were not the main part of the story, the characters really came to life and overshadowed their modern counterparts. Unfortunately, the modern versions just didn't catch my interest as much as I had hoped.

The story itself was incredibly sweet and very romantic. Ronan has been waiting for centuries for another chance, now he just has to earn it with the "new" Maeve. He tries hard, but the sunset time limit is mentioned just a little too often, almost like the reader was expected to forget about it. Ronan seemed a bit stagnant, while Maeve was very dynamic and adapting to all the crazy things happening around her.
