atasha Newlyn lives in a small sea village in the far west of Ireland, the perfect place for her work. For when this young artist paints, she hears music: a wild, secret symphony of ancient jigs and reels that accompany her stunning watercolor landscapes. But there is someone else who can hear her secret music. Someone unearthly and dangerous. Someone who covets her: Finvarra, the Faerie King of Con-naught. He has decided that she will be his next bride. For Natasha is more than just a beauty: she has a splinter of the old magic within her. But, like many things in the modern world, winning the heart of a mortal isn't as easy as it used to be.
