Scions of the Otherworld [Historical Fantasy/Adventure]
Synopsis
Book 1: The Blighted Treasure (Complete)
A supernatural fight for the fate of 15th Century Ireland might be decided by a pair of farmers.
Their parents’ passing leaves brothers Donal and Finn with little more than a failing farm. Finn sets aside his ambitions to save their family’s land and help Donal deal with a disorder that torments his mind. Donal is forced to fend for himself after his older brother is kidnapped by a creature known only through folk tales – a headless rider.
As Donal sets out to save his brother, he learns the truth about his family. Their mythical heroes, the Tuatha Dé, are real, and the brothers are among their descendants. Ancient villains known as the Fomori are bent on unleashing a supernatural blight upon the land.
Other local descendants of the Tuatha Dé take Donal on a journey across medieval Donegal. He’ll learn about ancient magic hiding in plain sight. He’ll stand toe-to-toe with mythical creatures, fight off sorcerers’ spells and cross spears with brutes twice his size. Can Donal and his people catch the Fomori in time to save their home?
Book 2: Lost in the Otherworld (Complete!)
To save his home, Donal MacLaughlin has to get help from the person who ripped his family apart.
Fomori continue their fight to invade 15th Century Tyrconnell. Donal and the other Sílrad must find the two remaining Treasures of the Tuatha Dé if they are to repel the invasion. Unfortunately for them, both weapons are hidden in the Otherworlds, a one-way journey for all mortals. An old acquaintance awaits on the other side to help them find both the weapons of their salvation and the means of returning home. Donal, Finn, Siobhan and Maeve must reach out to old friends and unwilling allies across northern Ireland to increase their slim chances of success.
