Publisher's Synopsis

A gorgeously woven tale of magic, friendship, and self-discovery set in a dream-like landscape filled with fairies.

After years of living in America, Clare Macleod and her father are returning to Ireland, where they'll inhabit the house Clare was born in-a house built into a green hillside with a tree for a wall. For Clare, the house is not only full of memories of her mother, but also of a mysterious boy with raven-dark hair and dreamlike nights filled with stars and magic. Clare soon discovers that the boy is as real as the fairy-making magic, and that they're both in great danger from an ancient foe.

Fast-paced adventure and spellbinding prose combine to weave a tale of love and loyalty in this young adult fantasy.


? "A stunningly atmospheric, gorgeously complicated dream of a book." -Publishers Weekly, starred review

? "An unforgettable tale . . . that contains all the darkness and light of A Midsummer Night's Dream." -School Library Journal, starred review

"Gorgeous, haunting, and wonderfully strange, The Radiant Road establishes Katherine Catmull as a master of the modern fairy tale." -Anne Ursu, author of The Real Boy and Breadcrumbs

"Katherine Catmull deftly weaves Clare's contemporary story with ancient Celtic lore. The Radiant Road is a beguiling novel with a strong, engaging protagonist." -Juliet Marillier, author of Daughter of the Forest and Wildwood Dancing
