The brilliant and original tale relates one extraordinary woman's fantastic journey of self-discovery. Keelie is created from the bodies of three different women to be a plaything for her doctor. Not satisfied with the life given to her, she sets out to find one of her own, embarking upon an amazing quest that will bring her closer to the reality of her incredible heritage. Guided by the counsel of the tempestuous goddess Erskegal, she uncovers pain and healing, love and anger, acceptance and, above all, the primordial truth that lie buried deep within the Earth. From ancient battles to violent witch hunts, Keelie spirals through epic distortions of history and magic, finding that her salvation lies not in the promise of the future but in the lessons learned in the past.
