    About this series

    A tale of magic, myth and Irish music.

    Fate takes Saoirse out of Dublin to rural West Cork and a mysterious grandmother who opens up her world to her impossible heritage connected to the Irish Gods. There she meets brooding Smithy, tempestuous Maura and humorous Finn, as well as the surfer Luke, all who prove to be extraordinarily talented and not just in Irish music. 

    They are a motley crew facing the biggest challenge—to collect the ancient treasures of Ireland and lure Balor back to the Otherworld where the final battle will take place. To succeed they must all come to know and understand who they truly are. To fail would mean not only their deaths, but the death of Ireland.

    A music-filled urban fantasy with a Celtic twist that will delight fans of Charles de Lint.

     

    Awakening the Gods

    Fate takes Saoirse out of Dublin and a life filled with Irish music to rural West Cork and a mysterious grandmother and brooding blacksmith who open up her world to the Gods, impossible things and the danger that threatens them all.

     

    In Search of the Hero God

    Luke just wants to surf and play Irish trad music. The gods have other ideas, and though he suspects that some great and terrible danger is afoot that threatens the land, he wants no part of it, he's too scarred by the past. But betrayal is everywhere and after a serious injury he seeks refuge in a remote West Cork peninsula with a woman who promises to heal him. But is she too good to be true?

     

    At the Edge of the Otherworld

    Maura has had enough of the gods seeing her worth and usefulness only as Morrigan, the war goddess. Even Finn, who she might count as a close friend on her best days doesn't understand. And now that they are all assembled and tasked with retrieving the two treasures to fight Balor, Maura leaves in a fit of anger. Her anger takes her across the sea to the middle of hot, dusty America where she makes an odd set of friends, including Raven, who is other than he seems.

    They are a motley crew facing the biggest challenge—to collect the treasures and lure Balor back to the Otherworld where the final battle will take place and Balor killed. To succeed they must all come to know and understand who they truly are. To fail would mean not only their deaths, but the death of Ireland.

      From a USA Today bestelling author comes a tale of magic, myth and Irish music. A failed barista, a reclusive blacksmith. Can they avoid the call of the Irish Gods? Saoirse knows playing traditional music once a week in a local Dublin pub won't get her a career, but it's all she's got, especially after she's fired from her barista job. But then her father dies and her life is set into a spin, especially when an unknown grandmother comes calling.. Music is Smithy's one joy that is left to him that has a residue of the magic he lost long ago. Creating things in his forge, tucked away in rural Cork, increasingly reminds him of what he's lost and why he must resist the requests of the Tuatha De Danann. They want him to join their efforts to battle their biggest nemesis, a powerful god who is threatening the destruction of Eire, the land they hold so dear. But events and gods conspire to bring Saoirse and Smithy to the path that was meant to be. It's time for the gods to awake and answer the call to defend the land. But answering that call could mean risking death. A music-filled romantic urban fantasy with a Celtic twist that will delight fans of Charles de Lint.
