    All he knew was the pain and suffering he had caused…and the pain he now felt from the fateful fall from the tree limb that now lay splintered beneath him. As certain death was about to befall him, he was granted a chance of redemption. Somehow, he was deemed worthy of a second chance but it would come with a price. The price would plunge him into a world between the living and the dead, where isolation was his only companion.

His punishment was severe and an ancient curse prevented him from satisfying his human needs in every sense. He knew want; he knew loneliness. Only in the Tower, protected by the Guardians of the past, could he claim his humanity. The tower held the key to unlock Derek Campbell from the prison of his soul and of his heart. Kiera Callum was running from a failed relationship and a career with a sadistic and abusive boss. The Highlands of Scotland seemed like just the balm to soothe her battered spirit.

She also could not imagine that the Keep came complete with a 700 year old spirit. It seemed Kiera ran from many things in her life when the going got tougher. One of those things was her ability to sense the spirits of those who had gone before. She had denied that gift her entire life because it marked her as a freak. Only now there was nowhere to run. Kiera had to finally face everything she had run from in order to help the trapped soul of a medieval man whose presence was the most vital thing she had ever encountered. She would have to learn to trust in the things that could not be explained. Things are not always as they appear… Could love end his torment? Would Kiera be able to open her heart enough to release him from the prison of isolation? Would her love be strong enough to let him go? Celtic Spirit spans six and half centuries where the past and present collide. Love can bridge time and space. Love is eternal.

    R. Ward | Summary & Analysis This is a Summary & Analysis of The Shadows. Bestselling author JR Ward’s The Shadows continues the current tendencies of modern vampire fiction as TrezLath and iAm, as well as their friends and associates, stumble into and through romance. Their stumblings produce politically charged results that speak to the arcane bureaucracies associated with vampiric depictions since Rice and White Wolf and permit the kind of open violence to be expected of super-strong, long-lived, intelligent predators stalking the nights of a world not unlike that of readers. J. R. Ward’s The Shadows, continues the Black Dagger Brotherhood series into its thirteenth volume. In its main storylines, TrezLath and iAm both find their ways into romances that manage to reinforce their fraternal bonds. The former seeks to escape a predetermined stud-duty in no small part because of his falling into a love he ultimately loses, which the latter unexpectedly finds himself in love with a lover initially promised to another. Several other plot threads seem to flow from earlier volumes and suggest future works in the series, both in terms of personal investment and of political intrigue.
