The Epic Irish Mythological Adventure! IRELAND: 1st century. A time of strife and treachery. Political ambition and inter-tribal conflict has set the country on edge, testing the strength of long-established alliances. Meanwhile, mysterious war parties roam the forests and a ruthless 'Tainted One' is intent on murder. In the secluded valley of Glenn Ceoch, a disgraced druid and a woman warrior have successfully avoided the bloodshed for many years. Now, the arrival of a pregnant refugee threatens the peace they've created together. Run or fight, the odds against them are overwhelming. And death stalks on every side. The most authentic Irish adventure series on the market, the Fionn mac Cumhaill Series by author Brian O'Sullivan is a gritty and authentic retelling of this great Irish epic. Gripping, insightful and utterly action-packed, this is Irish mythology/ fiction as you've never read it before. A 2016 SPFBO Competition finalist and Irish bestseller, this book also includes the following extra content: * a glossary with explanations on ancient Irish cultural concepts * a pronunciation guide and links to an online audio pronunciation guide
