A historiographer with a penchant for the highly irregular, Caitlin Sterling has often been drawn to the archaic fragments of labyrinths. While she stood next to an ancient Altar Stone in the center of a labyrinth, on the Isle of Goland, she is caught up by an invisible force leading her to a woman with long tresses of red hair and eyes that burned with the intensity of a galaxy of suns.

As the woman, Eithne, is standing next to her, she reveals that Caitlin has woken something in the memory of the labyrinth when she touched the Altar Stone, she further reveals that Caitlin must remain and bear witness to the memories and discover why she has been selected by the Venerable Ones.

Eithne explains that she has felt your Caitlin's pain and sense of loss and understood her loneliness. She tells the stunned historiographer to return the next day, and she will find the answers, the understanding and the peace she seeks. If she puts her faith in the labyrinth and the Venerable Ones and allow herself to be guided by them, her life will change forever.
