Cattie

Death comes in many forms and disguises, but she only has one face... The lolling hills of 19th century Ulster are filled with magic, lore and untimely demise. Twenty-year-old Cattie is well used to it; she's no stranger to death and superstition. Catherine (Cattie) Bronagh is the eldest of seven children and lives in a small cottage along with her parents, siblings, grandmother and massive hound, Cú. Though recently widowed, Cattie has been encouraged by her parents to find another husband, despite Cattie's aspirations for an independent life. Her father has arranged for her to court James Hamilton. Though he is the most eligible bachelor in the parish, Cattie has never been fond of James, and he even less so of her. James, however, is gravely injured the night before they meet. In his absence, she meets his distant cousin, Edward Donn. He's handsome, charming and Scottish...and Cattie catches his eye. As James slowly recovers from his ordeal, he begins to pursue Cattie, much to her surprise. Torn between the two men, Cattie has a decision to make. But nothing is ever simple. An unnatural pestilence has gripped the land, and people are dropping like flies. As the bodies keep piling up, heads search for answers. And they all seem to be looking at Cattie...
