About this ebook
From the New York Times–bestselling author of Lion of Ireland, an ancient, mythical Irish race must protect their homeland in this historical fantasy.
For centuries the Túatha Dé Danann lived in peace on an island where time flowed more slowly and the seasons were gentle—until the invaders came. The Gaels came looking for easy riches and conquest, following the story of an island to the west where their every desire could be granted.
After a happy and innocent childhood, Joss was on the cusp of becoming a man when the Gaels slaughtered the kings and queens of the Túatha Dé Danann. Left without a mother and father, he must unite what is left of his people. Even broken and scattered, Joss and his people are not without strange powers.
“Ms. Llywelyn’s command of language is exquisite and, thus, the novel is a shining example of some of the exquisite storytelling of the past.” —SFRevu
