What you need to know before your trail

From an ancient, storm-tossed sea, a tribe of gods reach the rocky shores of Ireland.
Among them, a strange, hungry, red-haired girl. A girl who can change shape, from bird to beast to goddess. A girl who dreams of battle, of blood, of death and power.

She does not know yet that a woman who seeks to rule will always be in danger – or that there are far more treacherous figures in this land than the gods who raised her.

She does not know that one day love will burn so deep in her heart that its scars will never heal. That she will know pain so raw and pure it will almost tear her apart.

She does not know that her journey will take a thousand years. That her name will be remembered for a thousand more.

Travel Guide

The Morrigan

The Morrígan is a figure from Irish mythology. The name translates as “great queen” or “phantom queen”.

She is mainly associated with war and fate, especially with foretelling doom, death, or victory in battle. In this role she often appears as a crow. She incites warriors to battle and encourages warriors to do brave deeds, striking fear into their enemies.

Many of the locations are mythical or they are no longer there but once you read this book, they will reappear!
