Synopsis

This collected edition includes both stories featuring Rian of Kilkirk…a tender-hearted warrior in Heroic Ireland who is forced to manage two Fae “gifts.”

What if you could read any book in the world....even the ones that haven't been written yet?

Rian hates the king’s training program. After the first year’s Trials, he escapes to the cellars...where he finds a magical library and a wren-like Fae who explains that he can choose his own fate. Each year, one figurine crumbles and one possible fate disappears because of the choices he's made. He should be able to make the Warrior disappear before he turns eighteen, right?

He’s got this hero gig down…

until he meets a woman who changes the rules

Rian is used to the enchantment that yanks him through time to rescue people. When a new lady-in-waiting shows up at his boss’s castle, Rian sees immediately that Maura is from another time. First flirtation, then danger, then rescue. Check.

But then… his armlet doesn’t force him into action, and Maura keeps defying his expectations.

Read now, to journey back to 3rd-century Ireland with a reluctant young hero! With characters based on Irish mythology, this historical fantasy has plenty of action but no gore.

About this title

About the Author

Characters you connect with. Adventure. Love. Family... And endings that are more than a sugar rush. When Christy Matheson is not throwing ordinary characters into fairy tales, she is busy raising five children. (Very busy.) She writes character-driven historical fiction with and without fantasy elements, and her "fresh, smart, and totally charming" stories have won multiple awards.Christy is also an embroidery artist, classically trained pianist, and sews all of her own clothes. She lives in Oregon, on a country property that fondly reminds her of a Regency estate (except with a swing set instead of faux Greek ruins), with her husband, five children, three Shelties, one bunny, and an improbable quantity of art supplies.
