In a novel that escapes the restrictions of genre definitions, traditional historical novelist Root's cross-genre NanaWriMo entry of 2013 evolves into a chain of epic mystery-adventures that even she has not solved. The tale begins when historical novelist Thea (Dorathea) Jameson visits the Border fortress where her recent novels are set. She has no idea the source of her powerful attraction to the site or what has made it the number one location she feels compelled to visit before she dies. When an opportunity arises, she is ecstatic until she senses mysterious forces at play beyond her own imagination and the sites romantic allure, and they are not benign.After her arrival, Jameson finds herself in the fortress as it existed in the 17th Century rather than the 21st and its kerry-fisted reiver laird thinks she is the Green Woman, the castle's resident ghost who appears when danger looms. Her quest to solve the mystery of the haunting sends her into cellars built atop an ancient Roman ruin, where she encounters a awesome presence who has been there since before the Romans came. She soon finds herself recruited into a 17th Century power struggle between the Stuart monarchy on one one hand and the dissident Earl of Bothwell on the other, while on a higher tier, a cosmic battle looms between the Lord of Darkness and the castle's Guardian, the Daemon Nemesis, Goddess of Vengeance and Retribution, while the Theo Olympoi serve as judges and the heavens above the castle provide the battleground.The violence of the Scottish borders during the days of the reivers and the promiscuity of classical mythology present a multi-dimensional dilemma to spellbound Dorathea (Gift from the Gods) Jameson, who is uncertain whether she is experiencing lucid dreams, partaking in an out-of-body experience related to her own death, or has somehow written herself into a sexually charged bizarre adventure more awesome and sinister than anything her imagination could produce and which ultimately leaves her wondering if she has been drugged or actually has become the Green Woman.
