Regression

What if your dreams weren't memories of a past life, but glimpses of a history that never happened?

Muireann O'Connor is an ordinary woman with an extraordinary problem. Working as an IT technician in modern-day Bristol, she is plagued by vivid dreams of a village under attack, the smell of burning cottages, and a terrifying pirate whose rotting corpse haunts her sleep.

Then she discovers the historical event behind her nightmares: the sack of Baltimore in 1631, when Barbary pirates carried away more than a hundred Irish men, women, and children.

But something doesn't add up.

Historical records disagree about how many people were taken. A mysterious visitor called Death claims that time itself has stopped working properly. And when Muireann undergoes regression, she discovers that the past may not be what she thought it was.

As the boundaries between history and reality begin to break down, Muireann is drawn into a centuries-spanning mystery. She must uncover the truth about Rosie O'Shea, confront the consequences of a fractured timeline, and find a way to preserve her own existence.

Along the way, she encounters medieval warriors, ancient secrets, and forces that have no place in the modern world. Armed with her sharp wit, a stubborn refusal to accept the impossible, and a sword she never expected to wield, Muireann finds herself caught between two versions of history.

One of them may be the only reason she exists.

Regression: The One That Got Away is a supernatural historical adventure combining time travel, mystery, dark humour, and the enduring question of what happens when history refuses to stay in the past.
