RULER. MOTHER. GODDESS. WARRIOR.

PERFECT FOR FANS OF ELODIE HARPER''S THE WOLF DEN, ROSIE HEWLETT''S MEDEA AND COSTANZA CASATI''S CLYTEMNESTRA

They called me The Morrigan. I was magnificent. I was multitudes.
They twisted my story, stripped me away. But I will tell it now in my own voice.
It begins, as all the best stories do, in darkness.

From an ancient, storm-tossed sea, a tribe of gods reach the rocky shores of Ireland.
Among them, a strange, hungry, red-haired girl. A girl who can change shape, from bird to beast to goddess. A girl who dreams of battle, of blood, of death and power.

She does not know yet that a woman who seeks to rule will always be in danger - or that there are far more treacherous figures in this land than the gods who raised her.

She does not know that one day love will burn so deep in her heart that its scars will never heal. That she will know pain so raw and pure it will almost tear her apart.

She does not know that her journey will take a thousand years. That her name will be remembered for a thousand more.

She is The Morrigan, and she is waiting: a girl with rage coiled in her chest. Beautiful, powerful, ravenous rage. A rage that will live forever.

An electric debut retelling of Ireland''s mythic goddess of war, from a bold and powerful new voice.

They called me The Morrigan. I was magnificent. I was multitudes.
They twisted my story, stripped me away. But I will tell it now in my own voice.
It begins, as all the best stories do, in darkness.

From a storm-tossed sea, she arrives on the shores of Ireland. Red-haired, wrathful, shifting from bird to beast to woman.

The Morrigan, goddess of war and fate, endures centuries as invaders come and kings go, rulers shifting like the tide.

She seeks vengeance on Conchobhar and Cuchulainn, legends bent on destroying all that she loves. She watches queens fall, women silenced, and power stolen by men who carve history in their image.

But she is fury incarnate. And she will tear down their rule, shatter their chains, and set the women of Ireland free.

**An electric debut retelling of Ireland's mythic goddess of war, from a bold and powerful new voice.
