Description
The thrilling second volume in Gael Song: Era II sees invaders mass on Irish soil, kings lose their crowns, and Ireland's immortals discover new magical powers.
Winter 1169. Isolde arrives at the stronghold of the Descendants, her immortal kin, scarred by her ordeal at the hands of the powerfully magical Fomorians.
Although her powers are raw, it soon becomes clear that Isolde is incredibly magically gifted. But as she learns to harness her abilities, she is plagued by visions of death and destruction.
War between Ireland's kingdoms continues, but as Norman lords encroach ever further onto Irish soil Ireland's royal houses must choose: work, and fight, together – or risk the destruction of their whole world.
Caught in the conflict is Isolde's beloved friend Cuan. The scion of mortal kings, Cuan possesses strange magical skills and seeks the truth about his lineage. A mysterious stranger may have the answers he craves, but events take a darker turn when Cuan is accused of treachery. With powerful enemies ranged against him, and Isolde far away, escaping death a second time may be beyond him.
