The Morrigan's Revenge
"5 Stars. This is the perfect book for fans of Harry Potter... Every single page of this book captivated me... Cosy, adventurous vibe with a plot that is original and truly engaging."
"Loved it from the second I started reading it."
"The author paints the cursed land with such vivid, sensory detail that readers are pulled into places where sunlight has long been forgotten... humour, friendship and a touch of magic in a story that's as refreshing as it is timeless."
??? FROM THE BACK COVER ???
Hell bent on turning every last person on the Island of Ireland to stone, the Morrigan, the ancient Irish goddess, has returned.
Survivors flee to Kylemore Abbey (Connemara, Galway) as a struggling community grows within its protective walls.
With the Morrigan's dark influence seeping through Kylemore - a group of Kids (Ned, Pippa and Henry), and a strange newcomer, Nell, discover a magical book and a way to fight back.
They must embark on a journey from the Wild Atlantic West to the Mythical East of Ireland; putting their survival skills to the test against the wild and The Morrigan's army of Formorian dogs.
Their quest - to fulfil a prophecy and free the Dagda, the most powerful of all the Irish gods, before it's too late; but as Irish legend will tell you... not all prophecies can be trusted!
'She had read the Morrigan was a master manipulator, that she could bend the will of a man as easily as a blade of grass.'
'... a murder of crows had followed, waiting for the perfect time to strike and the cruellest revenge possible.'
You've heard of Zeus, Apollo and Poseidon... but have you met Ireland's gods and heroes? Before Mount Olympus, there was the Tuatha Dé - a powerful, magical race of gods and warriors who ruled ancient Ireland.
Meet The Morrigan, fierce goddess of death, fate, and war...
The Dagda, a giant with a magic club that can bring the dead back to life...
Lugh, the god of light and skill, who could outfight, outthink and outshine anyone...
Fionn McCool, the guy behind the Giant's Causeway...
Cú Chulainn, the boy warrior with a rage so strong, it bent his own bones...
Balor, the one-eyed giant whose gaze could kill...
Boann, goddess of the River Boyne and keeper of deep, ancient secrets...
And Nuada, the silver-handed king - noble, wise and born to lead, even after losing his arm in battle
These aren't just myths - they're Ireland's original legends. AND THEY ARE BACK...
