Description

The Children of Gods and Fighting Men by Shauna Lawless is a gripping historical fantasy novel that intertwines Irish mythology with medieval history. In 981 AD, the Viking King of Dublin is dead, and his young widow, Gormflaith, must navigate the treacherous world of Irish politics. Gormflaith harbours a secret: she is one of the Fomorians, an immortal race with the power of fire-magic. As Ireland teeters on the brink of war, a young Fomorian named Fódla agrees to help her kin by infiltrating the retinue of Brian Boru, a powerful man who aims to be High King of Ireland. With the fate of mortal lives hanging in the balance, Fódla must use her gift of healing to prevent the coming conflict. But with the Fomorians on the rise, the outcome is far from certain. This debut novel by Shauna Lawless blends fantasy with historical fiction to create a vivid and immersive world. With its richly detailed setting and complex characters, The Children of Gods and Fighting Men is a compelling read for fans of historical fantasy and mythology.
