| A novel of ancient Ireland |
Book Blurb:
Circa
2200 BCE: Changes rocking the Continent reach Eire with the dawning
Bronze Age. Well before any Celts, marauders invade the island seeking
copper and gold. The young astronomer Boann and the enigmatic Cian need
all their wits and courage to save their people and their great Boyne
mounds, when long bronze knives challenge the peaceful native
starwatchers. Banished to far coasts, Cian discovers how to outwit the
invaders at their own game. Tensions on Eire between new and old
cultures and between Boann, Elcmar, and her son Aengus, ultimately
explode. What emerges from the rubble of battle are the legends of
Ireland’s beginnings in a totally new light.
Larger than myth, this tale echoes with medieval texts, and cult heroes modern and ancient. By the final temporal twist, factual prehistory is bending into images of leprechauns who guard Eire’s gold for eternity. As ever, the victors will spin the myths.
This story appeals to fans of solid historical fiction, myth and fantasy, archaeo-astronomy, and Bronze Age Europe.
