A Daughter Named

A Daughter Named A difficult birth Mona gives birth to Morrigan, a Taltos child whose rapid growth and unusual knowledge overwhelm the adults around her. Mona nevertheless sees beauty and connection in her daughter. A family secret The birth ties Mona to the concealed history of Rowan and the Mayfair family. It also places her at risk from the physical cost of Taltos pregnancy and from the family’s fear of the species.

Ash Takes Morrigan

Ash Takes Morrigan A meeting outside the window Ash arrives, and Morrigan responds to his presence and scent. She runs to him, while Rowan and Michael are unable to stop her from leaving. A promise deferred The family believes Ash and Morrigan may have chosen to be together and initially waits for contact. That decision later becomes a source of bitter regret for Mona.

The Frozen Reunion

The Frozen Reunion A body found Mona reaches Ash and Morrigan’s frozen bodies and recognizes her daughter. Rowan later judges them dead, ending the hope that Mona might meet Morrigan again alive.
