Publisher's Synopsis
The Tuatha de Danann, an ancient people of magic from whom the Fae descended, have lived in harmony with the Earth on the continent of Éire for centuries - even after the arrival of mortal men, the Milesians.
Although the Tuatha sought to live in peace with the new mortal arrivals, the Milesians continue to make their home on Éire by conquest and exploitation of the land and its resources.
As tensions rise between the two races, war breaks out amid the once peaceful green hills and lush forests. The Tuatha are quickly outnumbered by the ever-growing population of Milesians and forced deeper into the mythical forests from which they draw their ancient and powerful magic - their draíocht.
The Earth calls forth an ancient Divine feminine power...
Rhiannon, a daughter of magic, has lived her entire life in hiding. Deep within the forest, she has resided with her grandmother, sharpening her draíocht and waiting for the day she could avenge her people. As she watches life begin to wither around her, she wonders how she can make a difference. When an opportunity arises, she learns that she must venture far from her home to find the long-lost Tuatha homeland and with it, the liberator of her people.
Find her. Protect her. Restore what was lost.
Rowan, a son of mortal men, has lived the quiet life of a blacksmith in the village of Baile. When the wheel of fate spins, his life is turned upside down. Soon, friend becomes foe, and his world is torn apart. He must rely on his father's words to find his way to a hidden land and a lost Queen his family has been sworn to protect for centuries.
As two opposing sides find themselves forced to work together after a chance meeting, they learn that what they have in common might just be stronger than their differences.
Destiny brings new friends and deadly enemies into their path as they navigate the ever-changing world of Éire.
This is a special edition of the first book in the Chronicles of the Tuatha trilogy. Epic fantasy intertwines with a rich tapestry of Celtic myth and folklore in this debut that delivers an enthralling mix of forbidden magic, romance, and rebellion set against the mystical backdrop of ancient Ireland.
