imagination?

Cathbadh, lost her mother and father the majority of her Clan, in a
portal breach on Odin. Devastated, she became the defacto leader of a
small band of survivors, guiding them to a new life on Earth. Her

her face a new enemy and possibly open her heart. But will Keira be
able to forgive Devon's secret? Or resist the bond of the Anam Cara?
Odin, homeland of the Guardians
“Mother, you can foresee this is best for our clans.” Devon Conchobar bent forward, braced his elbows on his knees, and turned toward Danann.
“Devon, mo mac.” She cupped his cheek and pushed an errant strand of hair behind his ear. “And you understand why our people would resist. Our Gods and Goddess’ created Odin eons ago as a haven, to save us from the Romans, to save our beliefs, our heritage. I miss you when you are on the alternate side, but this is home. The communities have dug deep roots. A few individuals might depart. Brave souls like you Guardians, but most would decline.”
“I know our history mother.” He rose, paced towards the fiery glow radiating from the massive fireplace warming the aged stone walls and floor. As a lad, he spent many a night curled on this worn wool rug seeking warmth. His gaze roamed the dim room, the comfortable old furniture, his father’s favorite leather armchair.
An old-fashioned tapestry had him pause. It portrayed a skirmish between two ancient clans. In the gloom, his lips twitched. Our ancestors sure enjoyed a good battle.
His straight hair long and loose from the leather strip fell over his shoulders. He bent, grabbed the queue from the floor, and ran the thin piece through his fingers. “But how much longer do you believe we can contain Odin’s existence with the modern advances of science on Earth? The veil between our worlds is thin. Consider how far the humans have come since Copernicus and Galileo. One misstep cloaking Odin during a shuttle launch or…” His gut twisted, icy shivers slipped down his spine. Trouble is coming. I feel it in my soul. “If that happens, we’re all screwed.”
“All right, I will consult the Runes and meditate on your words, but do not become too hopeful. We Celts are a stubborn lot.”
He snorted. “I’m well aware!”
