Book One of the Schattenreich Geophysicist Caitlin Schwarzbach, out of work and weary of small-town Texas, leaves home. For good. Separated from her beloved brother Gus at age seven when their parents divorced, she moves to Cologne, Germany to be with him. Upon her arrival, a Gus lookalike attempts to kidnap her by pulling her into a wall of glass. His accomplice: a curvy Nordic beauty dressed in black taffeta and lace and swarmed by ravens. Later that evening at a university reception, Caitlin learns her seismologist brother has included her in a research project with Hagen von der Lahn, an amateur archeologist, a stylish aristocrat and dangerously attractive. After Gus is called away by an earthquake, the deranged Gus doppelganger again tries to drag her away. Hagen rescues her, and spirits her to his castle near the Rhine. A novel of supernatural suspense, Primary Fault tells the tale of a woman's quest to save her brother. The mixture of science meets magic pits beings from a Celtic otherworld against atheistic Druids, and will delight fans of a tightly plotted fantasy with richly drawn characters. --Provided by publisher
