When the Wave Breaks by Ciaran Llachlan Leavitt

First Branch of the Reparations Cycle

In the time of Atlantis, two goddesses meet

'Beauty, death and dreams, are the substance of myth. Even Gods fall in love. Like mortals, they sometimes love not wisely, but too well. As sometimes happens with love, there is jealousy and pain. And like us, they mistake possession for love.'

When the Wave Breaks explores the humanity of the Gods and tells of the flight of the Tuatha De Danaan from doomed Atland to what will one day become modern Ireland. When Danaan Goddes makes a fateful choice to spurn her betrothed, her entire nation must pay the price in blood. Her new lover must not only find a way to save Brighid from a vengeful Bres, but must also win the right to stand as Consort to the Beltaine Queen.

Ciarán's stories are filled with the mythology of her youth and reflect her love of history and sociology. She lives in Mahone Bay.
