EYES OF THE SEER
Ashley York
Series: The Derbfine Series Book 2
Genre:†Historical Fiction Publication Date: July 31, 2017 
In ancient …ire, men and women take to the legends for answers. Different-colored eyes are the mark of a Seer, it is said, and those who can see the future are in league with the devil. They cannot be suffered to live.
He wishes to prove himselfÖ
Marc·n of Clonascara bears the bloodline of Brian Boru, the legendary high king, and his prowess as a warrior has earned him great respect. But he was born with different-colored eyes, and there are some who would have him suffer a Seer's fate. His fiercest adversary is Beibhinn, mother to Diarmuid, his close friend and king, and Astrid, the woman who holds his heart. If Astrid ever showed him any interest, he would fight Beibhinn and any army to wed her.
She is desperate to escapeÖ
Astrid is sick of her mother's belittling, but her brother is in no hurry to see her married, so she decides to see to her own match-making. The man she approaches quickly reveals his lack of honor, but her overbearing mother pushes her to wed him anyway. When Astrid discovers Marc·n's love for her, she realizes that what she wants has been in front of her all along. True happiness awaits them, but only if they can put a stop to her mother's plans.
Ms. York carried this book forward with lots of suspense and no shortage of her depraved antagonists looking to fulfill their own agendas. Eyes of the Seer is storytelling at its best presenting a top-notch read!

An Excerpt from the Book
Take an inside look at Eyes of the Seer. Read this sizzling excerpt from the book.
"Astrid?" Marc·n kept his tone low and controlled. "What d'ye here?"
The men stood, appearing surprised, ripped out of their lustful thoughts. That confusion swiftly changed to discomfort when they caught sight of Marc·n's expression. They moved away from her, opening the circle and allowing him a direct view of her, still seated beside P·draig.
Her hair was tousled and her eyes were widely innocent. She dipped her head, eyeing the men from beneath her lashes.
"Nothing." Her voice held a husky tone. "We areÖ talking."
The men turned back to him and waited. Could they actually have any expectation of his consent? Mayhap in the Meic Murchadha clan. Marc·n slowly gazed at each man in turn, looking him right in the eye, before finally settling his gaze again on Astrid.
"Do they all know ye are Diarmuid's little sister?"
Each man took a step back. All but P·draig, whose face maintained a look of superiority, his hand still on her shoulder like he owned her.
Marc·n moved closer to Astrid, and the other men continued to yield, stepping even farther away. "P·draig."
"I thought ye were telling yer stories, Marc·n," P·draig said.
Marc·n looked at his hand on Astrid's shoulder. And waited. Time slipped by. One of the other men coughed, and P·draig finally removed his hand. Heaving a deep sigh, he moved to stand with the others. Marc·n refused to acknowledge Astrid's crestfallen expression when he extended his hand to her.
"And I thought ye would keep to yer own women rather than taking advantage of an innocent lass." Marc·n handed the man his fur.
"This lovely lass asked me to show her the hot springs."
When Marc·n looked again at Astrid, he had hoped for some show of guilt. Instead, he was met with a defiant glare.
"Oh did she?" Marc·n asked as he shifted his gaze to the other men. "Were ye afraid ye'd lose yer way on yer own?"
P·draig offered a small smile. "If the lass wishes for the men to join us, they are more than willing, and I do not object."
The man was speaking of accepting the offer he'd believed she was making. Marc·n tasted blood where he'd bitten his cheek to hold back his angry words. Rather than speak to P·draig, whom he was tempted to strike, he turned to Astrid. "Did ye wish for more from these men than seeing the hot springs?"
Her eyes were angry, and her shoulders had rounded to their natural bend. Relieved to see her drop the flirtatious facade, he smiled. Just in time, he noticed the flash of anger and realized his smile had been misinterpreted. She thought he was laughing at her. He caught her hand just before it made contact with his cheek.
"How dare ye!" Astrid said, letting loose her tirade.
Though striking another was a punishable offense, Marc·n was more than willing to stand there and let her have at him. She did not care for him, but her behaviorówillfulnessÖ stubbornnessÖ whatever Diarmuid wanted to label her rantsówas merely an indication of the great depth of her passion. Marc·n recognized it because he was the same way. Mayhap that was what drew him to her. That he would not be the one to guide her to that knowledge was like a knife to his gut.
His tone hardened. "I dare because I am here to protect ye."
She ripped her hand out of his grasp and stopped just short of stomping her injured foot. Her voice shrill, she said, "I do not want ye to protect me! I want nothing of ye!"
Eyes of the Seer by Ashley York is yet another mesmerizing hit by this author. EYES OF THE SEER will have you turning pages.
