Isolde arrives at the stronghold of the Descendants, her immortal kin. It soon becomes clear that Isolde is magically gifted, but as she learns to harness her abilities, visions of death and fire consume her.

Cuan, nephew to the High King, is growing in fame. Caught between a curse that will destroy him, a desire for revenge, and his love for Isolde, Cuan is offered a new path by a mysterious stranger. But a warrior so close to the king has many enemies, and with Isolde no longer at his side, escaping death a second time may prove impossible. As war between Ireland's kingdoms continues, Anglo-Norman lords, eager for power, encroach ever further onto Irish soil. Ireland's clans must choose: work, and fight, together – or risk the destruction of their whole world.

Daughter of the Otherworld

"Bloomsbury presents Daughter of the Otherworld by Shauna Lawless, read by Clara Harte, Kevin Hely, Sam McArdle, Amy McAllister, and Gerry O'Brien. From the author of the Gael Song trilogy, an epic new historical fantasy set in the tumultuous, magical world of medieval Ireland during the time of the Norman invasion. Over a hundred years after she went missing, Isolde, born to the family of a famous Irish king and a powerful immortal, inexplicably reappears. Her mother's kin, the Descendants, are one of the two magical races of Ireland. But no Descendant can understand the reasons for Isolde's disappearance, and worse yet, she is giftless – born with no magical ability, a dangerous thing when the magic-rich Fomorians, ancient enemies of the Descendants, are growing in strength. The Fomorians no longer control any Irish kingdoms, but they still desire control over the mortal world. They seek to spread their dangerous webs wider by manipulating England’s Norman lords to invade Ireland. Not yet eighteen, Isolde's world is about to change for ever. But when death and destruction seem inevitable, her true worth will show itself, for Isolde is far more than she seems.

The Golden Ocean

"The first novel Patrick O’Brian ever wrote about the sea – and the precursor to the famous Aubrey-Maturin series. The Golden Ocean is the first novel Patrick O’Brian ever wrote about the sea. The novel shares the same sense of excitement and the rich humour of the Aubrey-Maturin novels, invoking the eloquent style and attention to historical detail that O’Brian readers admire so much. The protagonist of this story is Peter Palafox, son of a poor Irish parson, who signs on as a midshipman, never before having seen a ship. He is a fellow who would have delighted the young Stephen Maturin or Jack Aubrey … and quarrelled with them as well. Together with his life-long friend Sean, Peter sets out to seek his fortune, embarking on a journey of danger, disappointment, foreign lands and excitement. Written in 1956, this is a tale certain to please not only the many admirers of O’Brian, but any reader with an adventurous soul."
