—–
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.
