Synopsis Only the Stones Survive by : Morgan Llywelyn

"For centuries the Túatha Dé Danann lived in peace on an island where time flowed more slowly and the seasons were gentle--until that peace was shattered by the arrival of invaders. The Gaels, the Children of Milesios, came looking for easy riches and conquest, following the story of an island to the west where their every desire could be granted. They had not anticipated that it would already be home to others, and against the advice of their druids, they begin to exterminate the Túatha Dé Danann. After a happy and innocent childhood, Joss was on the cusp of becoming a man when the Gaels slaughtered the kings and queens of the Túatha Dé Danann. Left without a mother and father, he must find a way to unite what is left of his people and lead them into hiding. But even broken and scattered, Joss and his people are not without strange powers. Morgan Llywelyn weaves Irish mythology, historical elements, and ancient places in the Irish landscape to create a riveting tale of migration, loss, and transformation in Only the Stones Survive"--

Synopsis Grania by : Morgan Llywelyn

Here is an extraordinary novel about real-life Irish chieftain Grace O Malley. From Morgan Llywelyn, bestselling author of Lion of Ireland and the Irish Century novels, comes the story of a magnificent, sixteenth-century heroine whose spirit and passion are the spirit and passion of Ireland itself. Grania (Gaelic for Grace) is no ordinary female. And she lives in extraordinary times. For even as Grania rises as her clan's unofficial head and breadwinner and learns to love a man, she enters a lifelong struggle against the English forces of Queen Elizabeth -- her nemesis and alter ego. Elizabeth intends to destroy Grania's piracy and shipping empire--and so subjugate Ireland once and for all. But Grania, aided by Tigernan, her faithful (and secretly adoring) lieutenant, has no choice but to fight back. The story of her life is the story of Ireland's fight for solidarity and survival--but it's also the story of Grania's growing ability to love and be strong at the same time. Morgan Llywelyn has written a rich, historically accurate, and passionate novel of divided Ireland -- and of one brave woman who is Ireland herself.

Synopsis On Raven's Wing by : Morgan Llywelyn

One day they will call him the hound of Ulster, born to glory, brushed by the raven’s wing... The small boy who arrives at the ancient royal fortress of Emain Macha has only one desire – to join the legendary Red Branch, a mighty order of warriors pledged to defend the standing stones and river-strewn hills of Ireland. Setanta has always longed to follow in his father’s footsteps as a knight, but he could never have prepared for the fatal beauty of Deirdre, the brutal jealousy of King Conor or the blistering fires of Queen Maeve’s vengeance. From the shapeshifters of the Otherworld and their goddess of war to the mythical spear of Gae Bulga, Setanta’s adventures set him on a path to finally claim his long-foretold destiny as Cuchulain, the fabled hero of Celtic lore. An epic historical tragedy seething with magic and mayhem, this will be utterly adored by fans of Bernard Cornwell and Robin Hobb. Published in North America as The Red Branch.

Synopsis Druids by : Morgan Llywelyn

"Mine was the vast dark sky and the spaces between the stars that called out to me; mine was the promise of magic." So spoke the young Celt Ainvar, centuries before the enchanted age of Arthur and Merlin. An orphan taken in by the chief druid of the Carnutes in Gaul, Ainvar possessed talents that would lead him to master the druid mysteries of thought, healing, magic, and battle-- talents that would make him a soul friend to the Prince Vercingetorix . . . though the two youths were as different as fire and ice. Yet Ainvar's destiny lay with Vercingetorix, the sun-bright warrior-king. Together they traveled through bitter winters and starlit summers in Gaul, rallying the splintered Celtic tribes against the encroaching might of Julius Caesar and the soulless legions of Rome. . . .
