The explosive conclusion redefines the power and magic of the Lorrahs and the wilderness they call home.

About the Author

Lorretta Lynde was born in Montana and raised on a ranch on the Crow Indian Reservation. Her Irish great-grandparents arrived and stayed in this place as they followed the railroads west. She is retired from a 30-year career in the newspaper business, and she and her husband travel frequently to Ireland. These journeys brought her attention to the remarkable similarities between ancient Irish practices and the traditional beliefs of the Crow Indians and provided the basis for her Magpie Odyssey series.
