Eradimus: God of Imbolc — J. Rose Allister

(Previously titled Awakening of Brighid)

Eradimus must awaken a goddess before time runs out…

It is the time of Imbolc, and Eradimus, god of the sabbat, fears that the realms are in jeopardy. Violent storms erupt as the earth prepares to shake off its inhabitants, a fate that can only be avoided by the return of the woman Eradimus has loved for millennia. Brighid was destined to be in his arms only once each generation, a cruel enough fate before she failed to return at all. Now the world mourns her loss -- and Eradimus's father, along with the Counsel of Sabbats, insists that he take another lover for an Imbolc ritual that will hopefully avert disaster.

Brighid is not having the greatest vacation. A sudden storm hits, almost taking her over the edge of a cliff along with her rental bike. Lost and alone, she makes her way to the nearest shelter -- a barn that seems to have been oddly readied for a visitor -- to wait out the weather. When a strange, but gorgeous man shows up and claims to know her, she is infected by his sensual presence and very much wishes she could be the Brighid he so desperately seeks.

Is she the goddess Eradimus longs for? He must find a way to restore her true identity and join with her before all of humanity is lost.
