Christine Connolly finds a strange piece of jewelry at a yard sale: a beautiful golden torque, a neckpiece worn by royalty in ancient Ireland. When she tries on the torque, it transports her back in time to the magnificent warrior Ailin and his people. She appears on the eve of the springtime festival known as Imbolc, leading the people to believe she is the incarnation of a goddess. Ailin believes it, too, for he is the one who made the torque she wears. But the presence of a goddess causes great strife among his tribe – and Christine learns that being worshiped, instead of loved, is not really what she wanted after all.
