It is the first in a series, and I will be reading book two shortly. Breen Kelly has an overbearing mother, a long-lost father, and a job that she dislikes. Her father left when she was young, but she remembers the stories that he would tell her of fairies, dragons, and magic in a faraway land. After coming into some money, Breen takes a trip to Ireland with a friend, hoping for a life reset. In Ireland, Breen finds herself chasing a dog through a portal to the land described in her father’s stories. It turns out that it just might not be the first, or the last, time that she has been in this magical land. Show less
