Still Life by Joe Donnelly
The reclusive Caitlin has lived in a small isolated town in Scotland since the night when, as a policewoman trying to rescue a mother and child from a gun-wielding drug addict, she was paralyzed by bullets.
Now two people break into her lonely existence: Martin Thornton, a reporter who moves closer to her than the quest for his story requires; and Sheila Garvie, a healer and wise old woman, whose ancestors fill Linnvale's graves and who nourishment to Caitlin's disturbing dreams. Caitlin needs these two strangers - but their own need is far more powerful.
As Caitlin loses control of her destiny, the forces of civilisation are ranged against the guardians of the ancient forest, moving unstoppably towards a savage confrontation. Nature and the old gods are demanding fresh blood, new life, human sacrifice...
