AVAILABLE TO PREORDER NOW - THE PAPERBACK EDITION! The sequel to the acclaimed The Children of Gods and Fighting Men, this powerful historical fantasy novel by Shauna Lawless is set in war-torn medieval Ireland. In 1000 AD, as clouds of war loom, the Irish kingdoms vie for supremacy. Gormflaith, the discontented queen of Brian Boru, plots to eliminate the Descendants, her Fomorian enemies. As her schemes unfold, Gormflaith uncovers a deeper magic within herself—though it comes with unforeseen consequences. Meanwhile, Descendant healer Fodla lives in disguise among mortals, determined to protect her young nephew, who harbors his own secrets. Fodla must shield him from those who would exploit his gifts for malevolent purposes. The arrival of a mysterious man at King Brian's court threatens both Gormflaith and Fodla, as well as the fate of Ireland. This man, Tomas, is an ambitious immortal willing to do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. Reviewers praise Lawless for her ability to blend fantasy with historical fiction, celebrating Ireland's rich history and cultural traditions while highlighting the influential women of the era.
