Just finished this one off today. Have read before but enjoyed it just as much. I love the story and the characters. #Cian
I read this many years ago. These are my observations from that time.
I loved that it was based on Celtic mythology and that the characters were an odd assortment from different generations. There are vampires, sorcerers and witches...appearing effectively around a fascinating tale.
While the mythology is strong, the story has a slow start and took me a while to absorb as fantasy was a bit new to me. I continued the series as I became invested in the characters and the outcome of the mythology.

In the last days of high summer, with lightning striking blue in a black sky, the sorcerer stood on a high cliff overlooking the raging sea...
Belting out his grief into the storm, Hoyt Mac Cionaoith rails against the evil that has torn his twin brother from their family's embrace. Her name is Lilith. Existing for over a thousand years, she has lured countless men to an immortal doom with her soul-stealing kiss. But now, this woman known as vampire will stop at nothing until she rules this world—and those beyond it...
Hoyt is no match for the dark siren. But his powers come from the goddess Morrigan, and it is through her that he will get his chance at vengeance. At Morrigan's charge, he must gather five others to form a ring of power strong enough to overcome Lilith. A circle of six: himself, the witch, the warrior, the scholar, the one of many forms and the one he's lost. And it is in this circle, hundreds of years in the future, where Hoyt will learn how strong his spirit—and his heart—have become...
