Mckenna's never thought much of her nightmares, but on her seventeenth birthday, a vivid dream of burning at the stake awakens her dormant abilities, thrusting her into a world where faeries are real, spirits hold a grudge, and a High Priestess obsessed with a 16th-century prophecy is tracking her every move. Now, her overprotective dads, Seán and Andre, are forced to tell her the truth-they know who her birth mother is, and her life is not the surrogate story she's always been told. Abigail, Mckenna's mom, is some sort of mystic, and Mckenna a Wise One. Whatever the hell that means. With the help of a persistent little wren and company of a newfound friend, Mckenna journeys to Ireland in search of her mother and real answers. Along the way, she learns to harness her innate magic and trust her intuition, as best she can anyway-Cillian, a kind and passionate delegate who crosses her path, is proving much harder to read. Only her mother could truly help her halt her ill fate and prepare her for what's to come . . . before she gives in to the darkness she knows is buried deep within.

The main character Mckenna for myself was a little hard to get into at first. She is supposed to be a 17-year-old, and I kept mistaken her as a 14-year-old. The maturity level did not feel right in some parts. I know everyone is different, but I felt a miss here. I know I have been told I was more mature for my age and maybe this could be the reason. She seemed annoying and whinny at some points. Overall, I enjoyed how she followed her instincts and took signs given to her. For me, this showed the more mature side. She took chances knowing a new friend, Nissa, was there to balance her, Mckenna being the introvert and Nissa being the extrovert.
Nissa was my favorite. I love how optimistic and naïve she is. Like Mckenna, I kept mistaken her for a 14-year-old instead of a 17-year-old. At some points, though, I often felt Nissa being the oldest between the two. Nissa is not like Mckenna. Nissa is a passionate and curious person. She is not afraid to ask questions and learn. I feel as if she is more of a rounded character then Mckenna. I am excited to find out how Nissa’s story will continue to intertwine with Mckenna’s in the next one.
What drew me into this story was how well the Celtic Mythology was researched and told mixed into other cute stories. Everything was blended nicely, like it was natural. This is the only book I have read so far with witch/wiccan/pagan beliefs in its natural spiritual form instead of the “energy or flame balls" forming in your hands like Charmed or Supernatural and other fantasy paranormal books. Though I am not against this, I find it fun to read, I very much enjoyed this difference. I am familiar with most of nature spiritual beliefs and this connected me into the story. The Irish setting was pleasant. I felt I was there.
This was a fun read. I would recommend this to someone who wants a fun fantasy to read.
