A decade ago, Mara's world was shattered when her beloved older brother vanished along a quiet jogging trail, leaving behind a whirlwind of unanswered questions and heartbreak. While everyone else accepted the theory that he simply ran away, Mara refused to believe that her brother would abandon her. Defying skepticism and ridicule, she clung fiercely to the mysterious legend of The Old Oak Archway—a rumored portal that periodically opens to another realm, and she vowed to uncover its secrets, no matter the cost.After years of relentless searching and chasing whispers, Mara finally discovers a way through the portal, propelled by determination and hope. Crossing the threshold, she steps into a breathtaking world unlike anything she had ever imagined. She was determined to find her brother and bring him home.But the reunion is nothing like she expected. Her brother was thriving as the Champion to the enigmatic King of the Golden Draygons—and not only does he barely recognize her, he does not wish to go home. His life and loyalty now belong to the Golden Draygon court.Before Mara can process the heartbreak, the King's golden eyes lock onto her, and in a single, electrifying moment, he declares her his Queen.Wanting to persuade her brother to leave a dangerous and unfamiliar realm—and evade the King's pursuit—Mara's careful plans collapse when the portal abruptly closes, trapping her in a land filled with magnificent dragons and danger. Cut off from any route home, Mara becomes entangled in a fierce power struggle, where friends might turn into foes, and each decision could influence the destinies of two worlds.Through all of this was Tohrah, the King, —a mysterious warrior determined to win her heart—Mara must navigate a web of intrigue, romance, and danger. Even as trust wavers and her instincts scream caution, Mara quickly learns that when the King of the Golden Draygons sets his sights, nothing can stand in his way. Will Mara reclaim her brother and escape the dragon realm, or will she be forced to choose between her past and a future she never imagined?

Born in Waterford in 1888 Rosamond Jacob, of Quaker background, was in many cases a crowd member rather than a leader in the campaigns in which she participated - the turn of the century language revival, the suffrage campaign, the campaigns of the revolutionary period. She adopted an anti-Treaty stance in the 1920s, moving towards a fringe involvement in the activities of socialist republicanism in the early 1930s while continuing to vote Fianna Fail. Her commitment to feminist concerns was life long but at no point did she take or was capable of a leadership role. However, it was Jacob''s failure to carve out a strong place in history as an activist which makes her interesting as a subject for biography. Her ''ordinariness'' offers an alternative lens on the biographical project. By failing to marry, by her inability to find meaningful paid work, by her countless refusals from publishers, by the limited sales of what work was published, Jacob offers a key into lives more ordinary within the urban middle classes of her time, and suggests a new perspective on female lives.Jacob''s life, galvanised at all times by political and feminist debate, offers a means of exploring how the central issues which shaped Irish politics and society in the first half of the twentieth century were experienced and digested by those outside the leadership cadre.
