About this ebook

Much has been said about the journey of following your heart and fighting for love, but there is no map once you arrive; once you have what you thought you wanted, only to realize you never understood why you wanted it in the first place. “You need to remember, Ophelia.” He met her gaze, his shoulders rising and falling with his chest. “We need to know what started this.”

Ophelia can finally bask in hard-won peace with the man she loves. As the two strive to blend their lives in present-day Ireland, they realize all is not as it seems… both with their place in time and each other. When memories of a lifetime at the dawn of the Dark Ages surface, Ophelia begins to understand the source of their soul-feud, and that the biggest challenges of her journey lie ahead.

Let the final novel in the Afterworld series take you back to the beginning.

About the author

Kellie, who publishes under her initials K.M. Rice, is a national award-winning screenwriter and independent author. Defying literary conventions and genres, the defining element of Rice's work to date has been the touch of whimsy she brings to every story she tells. They will take you from hauntings in the woods, the rugged American West, to the cliffs of Ireland, and across dozens of eras. She also enjoys being a crafter, a photographer, a short filmmaker, and an educator of the folkloric and historical intersection with spirituality through the study of The Wheel of the Year and pre-Christian Yule customs.

Her four-part Afterworld series launched with the first book, Ophelia, continued with book two, Priestess, book three, Fenians, and concludes with Anam Cara.

She provided additional writing and research for Middle-earth From Script to Screen: Building the World of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. 

Her first novel, Darkling, is a young adult dark fantasy that now has a companion novel titled The Watcher. Her novella The Wild Frontier is an ode to the American spirit of adventure and seeks to awaken the wildish nature in all of us. Black Irish, a dark comedy, highlights contemporary political drama in the emerald isle.

Over the years, her love of storytelling has led to producing and geeking out in various webshows and short films, including her author vlog and a webseries called Happy Hobbit (and is considered an influencer in the Tolkien fandom), along with working for both Magic Leap and Weta Workshop. 

When not writing or filming, she can be found hiking in the woods, baking, gardening, and enjoying the company of the many animals on her family ranch in the Santa Cruz Mountains of California.
