SHE SHOULD HAVE LOCKED THE DOOR

When she was a little girl, Brenna Fallon naively invoked an ancient Celtic deity to save a beloved pet—and inadvertently anchored the new-found power to a spring on her family's farm, thus creating a door between two realities.

Years later, Brenna discovers the terrible potential of that gateway when a devastating plague unfolds abruptly around her. To survive, she must depend on her wits, a stranger she doesn't trust, and a mysterious stray dog who becomes more than just a faithful companion as Brenna struggles to drive back the threat of a modern Black Death.

Welded into one by a desperate sacrifice, woman, man and dog face the feral darkness together.

In fact, I think I see "Druid" lying in front of my hearth!" —Jennifer Roberson, author and Cardigan Welsh Corgi breeder
