And then she met the man--if man he was--called Brennig.... When he touched her, when she looked deep into his strange blue eyes, she forgot everything--even the lover waiting for her in America. All she knew was the ache of an undying passion, a passion that drew her closer, ever closer, to. the black waters beneath Wrenn's Oak Bridge....
During her visit to Wrenn's Oak, Ellen Cole becomes enchanted by the local legend surrounding an ancient stone bridge in the Welsh village. Initially considering it nothing more than a charming old tale of doomed lovers and a witch's curse, her perception changes dramatically when she peers into the rushing waters below the bridge. To her shock, she witnesses a haunting vision of pure evil, undiminished by centuries of confinement.
As fate would have it, Ellen crosses paths with a man named Brennig, who exudes an air of mystery. His touch and piercing blue eyes have a profound effect on her, causing her to forget everything, including her awaiting lover in America. Consumed by an unrelenting passion, she feels an irresistible pull towards Brennig, drawing her closer and closer to the ominous black waters beneath Wrenn's Oak Bridge.
While the story's concept held great promise, I personally found the writing style to be monotonous and uninteresting. Although the characters in the story were intriguing, I felt that the overall writing style overshadowed their potential and made it difficult for me to fully engage with their personalities.
The concept of the story was very good, but very boring to me in the style it was written. It was very hard to force myself to finally finish the story since it kept putting me to sleep. I did enjoy the pieces where they went back in time as Brennig was telling the story to Ellen though.
