Rosa, a woman of mixed background – her father, a lighthouse keeper from Scotland, her mother a descendent of the long-lost, dark-haired Epiddi tribe. Rosa inherits certain abilities, (that some might call magic), and extreme long life from her mother’s side, but her mass of fair locks, inherited from her father, leads a shaman to call her ‘the golden-crowned child of two worlds’ – a woman with a destiny written long before she was born. These two worlds are separated by a Veil that few can cross, but Rosa leads a double-life on both sides of this invisible barrier.
