Ireland, 1011 AD: Brian Boru is now High King of Ireland. His queen, Gormflaith, instructs their young son in his heritage, but only on his mother's side. For Gormflaith is an immortal Fomorian skilled in fire-magic who has kept her true self hidden as she intends to finally defeat her peoples most hated foes, the Descendants, and establish control over Ireland. If King Brian stands in her way, so much the worse for him . . .
An intense and intricate tale, The Land of the Living and the Dead blends fantasy with historical fiction to great effect in an epic tale that completely sweeps readers along fully immersed in a fantastical world inspired by Irish mythology/history that is full of action, political machinations, and fantastical elements.
