About this listen

With war on the horizon, everything is at stake in this scintillating novel from Shauna Lawless, the next volume in the critically acclaimed GAEL SONG historical fantasy series.

THE OLD WORLD WILL DIE IN FLAMES...

Ireland, 1011 AD. The mortal kingdoms rise up against High King Brian Boru as they seek to wrest his crown from him. Yet the real struggle is between the two magical races of Ireland, the Fomorians and the Descendants, eternal enemies who both now seek dominion over the mortal world.

Gormflaith, queen of King Brian, remains unmasked as the powerful Fomorian she is. Gormflaith plans to establish control over Ireland and destroy the Descendants in one fell swoop... but she cannot do it alone.

The Descendants are divided, for not all their kind wish to dominate the mortals. Fódla, a Descendant who was once part of King Brian’s inner circle, must use this division to thwart treacherous plots that have been long in the making – even if it means sacrificing herself. But with other lives on the line, can Fódla reveal the evil in time?

As secret schemes come to deadly fruition, the only possible outcome is war. Ireland has bled red and often, but the coming clash will change the course of history forever.

Loved all three books. Book one was the best narrated. was a mild irritation to hear discrepancies in recordings and at one point thought the narrator had a cold.

I enjoyed this trilogyvery much, and having complained about Clara Hart's narration in part two I must now give her credit for a huge improvement in this last part.

Narration much improved

I've enjoyed every moment of this trilogy from the opening scenes to the last. beautifully woven history with authentic Irish mythology. brings to mind circe by Madeline miller and Ursula le Guin. Sensitive and plausible character development and a good dose of magic. thanks for the production.

Fabulous writing and gorgeous setting
