Synopsis
Grace Knox is about to turn seventeen, and the world of Victorian New York society should be opening to her—a time of dances and parties and boys vying for her heart and her hand. Instead, Grace’s world is closing in: the family business is gone; her brother is drinking and gambling away whatever is left; her widowed mother cannot cope; and her grandmother is slipping into madness. And now Grace is having disturbing dreams of ancient battles.
Grace’s only hope is to marry Patrick Devlin and let his fortune save them all. But she isn’t sure she loves Patrick, and she doesn’t share his passion to free Ireland from British rule. Why look to Ireland when there is so much poverty and despair here?
Then Grace meets Diarmid, an Irish stableboy. Being with him means losing everything. But the secrets and mystery surrounding him are too compelling to ignore. Soon Grace is drawn into his world of legend and heroes, magic and prophecy—the world of her dreams—where her own choice between faith and fear holds the greatest power of all.

From School Library Journal
Gr 7 Up—Unlike her friends who spend their time flirting and flouncing, Grace Knox has heavier matters to deal with than catching the eye of a potential suitor: the debt collectors plaguing her family and the struggle for independence of her ancestral homeland, Ireland. When Patrick, whose wealth could rescue her and her family, summons mystical warriors to join the fight, Grace struggles with her feelings for Patrick and the mysterious Diarmid, one of the warriors. Karen Peakes is more than up to the challenge of voicing two male characters. For Patrick, she goes to her middle range, making him a believable Victorian gentleman who is torn between his love for Ireland and his love for Grace. Diarmid is equally convincing as she goes to the lowest end of her range and includes a thick and mischievous Irish accent. A roller-coaster ride mixing historical with romance and a large dash of Irish folklore, Chance's series launch will have listeners eagerly awaiting the next volume.—Shari Fesko, Southfield Public Library, MI
