Publisher's Synopsis
A RETELLING OF THE GREAT IRISH MYTHS BY BESTSELLING AUTHORCome closer...No my friends, really come closer; closer to the fireside. Gaze into the dancing flames and listen to my tales; tales that will transport you to a world of long ago.
These tales will teach you the ways of the old code. When wars were fought justly so no man fought more than his equal. And when sworn oaths couldn't be revoked without punishment from the gods. These lessons shall guide you nobly throughout your life, to the land beyond the grave.
In those days the five kingdoms were ruled by powerful kings, beautiful princesses fell in love, quests were aided or hampered by magical druids, whilst vengeful fairies could destroy it all.
These are the legendary tales of the Kings of Munster, beginning with the Milesian invasion of Ireland, believed by some to be in 1700 B. C. and ending with the Viking Age in the middle of the 10th Century.
This is a re-telling of the great Irish myths by the bestselling author of Beyond the Elven Gate, Jason Savin.The beautifully illustrated map, showing Ireland as it has never been seen before, helps the reader to follow the heroes' quests. And family trees of Irish surnames in the third book clearly show how people of today are descended from the heroes in these tales.
This is the first book in the trilogy.
The Irish Myths have inspired many famous writers such as J. R. R. Tolkien, George R. R. Martin, as well as C. S. Lewis. So, if you like the worlds of Game of Thrones and Lord of the Rings then this book is for you.
I plan to use a percentage of the profits from the sale of these three books to protect some of the ancient monuments of Ireland, such as the fairy-forts and castles. So, with their purchase, you are helping to protect a fragile history, which when it's gone, will be lost forever.
