It s the beginning of summer break, and high school English teacher Shannon Parker is ready to relax poolside with some red wine and a good book. She s friggin earned it! But first a little shopping, a la fancy estate auction.
Surrounded by old folks and even older artifacts, Shannon never expects to find something that shocks her down to her very core: an ancient vase, complete with a beautiful painting of a goddess that looks just like her. And just as she s stealing away with her seriously suspicious purchase, she s magically thrown into the world of Partholon, where not only has she taken the place of Rhiannon, Goddess Incarnate and Epona s Chosen, but she s due to be married to a surly (but oh-so-handsome) High Shaman centaur, ClanFintan.
But serving as Epona s Chosen isn t just luxury baths and buff horse-guys. A dark power grows in the wastelands to the north, and Rhiannon will need much more than just the favor of Epona to protect the land and the man she s grown to love.

Surprisingly I ended up liking this book. I immensely dislike PC Cast's collaboration with her daughter in the House of Night series. The slang and annoying characters just got to me too much and I didn't even finish the series. I thought maybe this one would be more grown up since it was written only by PC and it's an adult book, not a YA. At first I wanted to throw the book out the window. The way she had Shannon speaking and sometimes does throughout the book is just as annoying as Zoey in House of Night. She talks like a teenager in a really bad sitcom. It's awful and annoying. And really the story seemed like an Outlander rip off (which I was reading at the same time). But after I got past the first third of the book it got much better. Shannon's still kind of teeny-bopperish and talks like no one I know of in real life, but the story got suspenseful and tense and by the end I found I really wanted to read the next book.
