Rise of the Celtic Gods Books 1-3 - Rise of the Celtic Gods

A tale of magic, myth and Irish music. Fate takes Saoirse out of Dublin to rural West Cork and a mysterious grandmother who opens up her world to her impossible heritage connected to the Irish Gods. There she meets brooding Smithy, tempestuous Maura and humorous Finn, as well as the surfer Luke, all who prove to be extraordinarily talented and not just in Irish music. They are a motley crew facing the biggest challenge-to collect the ancient treasures of Ireland and lure Balor back to the Otherworld where the final battle will take place.
