Bright Sword of Ireland

Third of Osborne-McKnight's vibrant tales of Celtic myths right Sword of Ireland is the third of Juilene Osborne-McKnight's wonderful retelling of cherished Irish folktales. A dedicated researcher into the origins of Celtic myth and legend, Osborne-McKnight infuses her stories with passion and romance and really makes her characters come alive. Here, she weaves the story of one who lived in the shadows of the great warrior queen Medb and the fabled hero Cuchulain. Sometimes the biggest part of a tale comes not from the biggest players on the stage. What happens to those who have grown up in the shadow of greatness? Young Finnabair is the daughter of the mighty queen. Not a beauty. Not a warrior. And one who is seen as a pawn for her mother to use as she will. But Finnabair rebels when she sees that her part in her mother's schemes for power have caused pain and shame to her people. And in doing so, Finnabair embarks on a journey that will change two kingdoms...and bring her love and loss so great as to break the hearts of the gods.
