The Land Of The Living And The Dead By Shauna Lawless

The old world will die in flames. Ireland, 1011 AD. Brian Boru is now High King of Ireland. His queen, Gormflaith, instructs their young son in his heritage – but only on his mother’s side. For Gormflaith, an immortal Fomorian skilled in fire-magic, intends to finally defeat the Fomorians’ hated foes, the Descendants, and establish control over Ireland. And if King Brian stands in her way, so much the worse for him. Fodla, the Descendants’ spy in King Brian’s camp, treads a wary path. She must protect her magically powerful young nephew from their leader, Tomas, who will do anything to achieve his aim of the Descendants returning to the mortal world and ruling Ireland. And Fodla is on dangerous ground, for she has broken one of the sacred rules of the Descendants: she has fallen in love with a mortal. As the schemes of Gormflaith and Tomas come to fruition, the only possible outcome is war.
