In the shadows cast by the giant Menhir of the sacred Stone Circle of Ama, lies the tiny settlement of Illu. Here, Zielle, last of an ancient lineage, is student of the Illucid mysteries. She is heir to Zeminaiad, the esteemed Spiritual Master of the Illucid Way. When Zielle falls passionately in love with Arun, a fisherman of Menai, her tranquil existence is shattered. This is a love story set in a Bronze Age community in the Northern Isles of Scotland, amongst burial cairns and cists, stone-hewn houses, craggy cliffs, the wild wind, and the raging sea.
