About the Books: 

A Daughter Forged in Fire

The Tuatha Dé Danann, an ancient people of magic from whom the Fae descended, have lived in harmony with the Earth on the continent of Éire for centuries - even after the arrival of mortal men, the Milesians.

Although the Tuatha sought to live in peace with the new mortal arrivals, the Milesians continue to make their home on Éire by conquest and exploitation of the land and its resources.

As tensions rise between the two races, war breaks out amid the once-peaceful green hills and lush forests. The Tuatha are quickly outnumbered by the ever-growing population of Milesians and forced deeper into the mythical forests from which they draw their ancient and powerful magic - their draíocht.

A Destiny Spun in Silver

Oaths sworn . . .

Promises made . . .

Can sometimes be impossible to break.

But the dawn reveals all truth . . .

And truth frees us all.

A new dawn is rising for the Tuatha.

The winds are shifting.

As a powerful magic from the past permeates their waking reality . . .

Can the people of Eire escape the forces of fate . . .

Or will they be consumed in the fires of their own destiny?

Aine wrestles with a fractured past on a winding path to healing as a dark specter from ancient times re-emerges, channeling a shadowy primordial magic through her as its vessel. As she watches her friends grapple with the weight of their decisions, she feels an intense pull to do anything necessary to protect her found family . . . even if that means destroying herself in the process.

The Chronicles of the Tuatha series continues in book two: A Destiny Spun in Silver, as Rhiannon, Rowan, Aine, and Dagda traverse new lands, forge new alliances, and encounter hidden enemies as they endeavor to unify their people and preserve their lands in the wake of an ever-changing world.
