Deirdre Monaghan is a 16-year-old musician who is extraordinarily talented yet very bashful. She's going to discover that she's a cloverhand—someone who sees faeries. Deirdre becomes enamored with an enigmatic guy who appears out of nowhere in her typical suburban existence and wins her over. The problem is, it turns out that the mysterious and stunning Luke is really a gallowglass—a heartless faerie killer. Aodhan, a dark faerie soldier who is equally attractive and menacing, is also pursuing Deirdre. Luke and Aodhan, who are sworn adversaries, have been given lethal assignments by the Faerie Queen. Specifically, take Deirdre's life before her singing draws the Fae's notice and jeopardizes the Queen's authority. James, her faithful but witty closest friend, gets caught in the crossfire with Deirdre. Though she hadn't intended to find herself ensnared in a centuries-old fairy conflict, Deirdre had been hoping her existence wouldn't be so boring...
Acclaimed fairy artist Julia Jeffrey created both the cover and inside images for Lament, a dark faerie fantasy filled with real Celtic faerie tales.
