The dream came to Rhiannon the night her husband died. An ancient magic is her birthright, and it has called upon her in the form of five gemstones known to her people as Bròn Seud—Sorrow Stones. Dominic, her husband’s brother and a soldier for the Scottish king, Malcolm Canmore, holds her only hope for finding out the secrets of the stones: he offers a way for her to get to Normandy, where the answers to the endless circle of questions lie. Rhiannon must first reconcile the burgeoning desire she feels for Dominic, and find a way to escape the clutches of a priest that is not what he seems before she will be able to reveal the immortal secrets hidden in these dangerous gems. Set in Scotland, Normandy, and England in the tumultuous year 1066, Night Cries delves deep into the mysteries of an ancient Pictish legend wrapped around a love that will take Rhiannon to two continents, the pivotal Battle of Hastings, and two very different lifetimes. 
Charity's music is now available on the full-length album from her band, Make Me Shiver. The album, entitled "Too Much To Dream," is now available. Make Me Shiver is currently rehearsing songs prior to going into the studio on their follow-up album, tentatively titled, "Moonshine Valentine."
