About this series
Breo-Saight, the young archer from Hero’s Song, has abandoned her lifelong mission to avenge her father’s murder. But just as she stops pursuing the murderers, they turn up again, leading Brie to her birthright—a fire arrow. The magical arrow leads Brie to a strange country, where she finds the family and happiness she’s never known. But she also finds evil at work—the doings of a sinister, one-eyed sorcerer named Balor. Though Brie has given up on vengeance, she knows she must follow her mission through to its bitter end if she is to save the people she’s grown to love.
“With sympathetic characterizations (both human and animal), gruesome foes, and a sinister mastermind, as well as fast pacing, a well-realized landscape, violent clashes, and all the expected elements of good fantasy, Pattou offers a rousing story that is not only a strong sequel that begs yet another sequel but also a fine fantasy adventure that holds up on its own.”—Booklist
“A much more accomplished book than its predecessor . . . replete with fascinating and fantastical images, creatures, and settings . . . an engrossing, well-crafted book, and will be much enjoyed by young fans of high fantasy.”—SF Site
“Memorable and well-crafted . . . The reader is left wanting another book . . . Excellent.”—VOYA (5Q—highest rating)

- Hero's Song
A series debut from the New York Times-bestselling author of East—“a dramatic tale, infused with Irish myth and folklore, that fantasy fans will relish” (Booklist). Collun has always been happiest working in his garden. But his peaceful life is shattered when his sister, Nessa, mysteriously disappears. He sets off to find her and soon realizes that he and his traveling companions, including the feisty young archer Breo-Saight, have become involved in something much larger and more sinister than he had imagined. “There is high adventure in this fantasy set in a mythical kingdom that resembles the British Isles of long ago . . . Fantasy fans will find the tale intriguing and look forward to further adventures in this kingdom.”—School Library Journal “A long, earnest fantasy with a Celtic flavor . . . The monsters are vividly rendered . . . Fantasy readers will enjoy this excursion over rich if well-trodden ground.”—Kirkus Reviews “Nonstop adventure.”—The Book Report “Action-packed . . . Well-crafted . . . Altogether satisfying.”—The Bulletin
