Perfect for Rick Riordan fans. "Join Colin Caulfield on an epic journey through Irish mythology, as the war of destiny and the fate of a nation rests on the power within." -- Dakota Love, reviewer.
Dear Reader,
For thirteen years, Ma's kept secret who my real father is. Now, she finally had no choice but to tell me. She says he's Lugh, one of the gods of old Ireland. If that isn't enough, I'm also the reincarnation of CuChulainn, Ireland's greatest mythic hero.
I would've thought she was crazy - that is if I hadn't been visited by the Morrigan, a powerful Irish goddess, earlier that night. Oh yeah, and let's not forget how, that same night, I was almost killed by a group of goblins working for an enemy who doesn't want me to fulfill my destiny.
And what is my "destiny?" I'm supposed to help the Irish gods return to power in time for something called the Fifth Cycle.
First I've got to train. And who better to train me than Scathach, the woman warrior who trained the original CuChulainn? So I'm off to Alba, an island in the mystical Otherworld, to learn how to use the new abilities I've inherited from CuChulainn - his strength, his speed, his toughness. Unfortunately, I've also inherited his warp spasms, berserker rages that make me a danger not only to my enemies but my friends too.
I need to get them under control. Luckily, I've got Scathach to help me. There's also a Druid named Gannon. And most of all, I've got the two best friends I've ever made, Alaynna and Breccan.
I better hurry. That enemy I mentioned might be closer than I think.
Wish me luck,
Colin Caulfield
