The Light of Lúnasa
A Curse…
Confessing to her brother’s death landed Clíona Murphy in a mental institution. After all, it isn’t possible to move things with your mind.
Mere weeks after her release, she kills her next accidental victim—the mayor. Fleeing the scene and an entire town of witnesses, she stumbles through a portal to ancient Ireland—a place where she’s not the only one with power.
A Warrior…
Trapped in this world, brothers are forced to Clíona’s aid: Rían, a quiet hunter of the forest who begrudgingly saves Clíona from death more than once, and Caolann, an admirable warrior who, when he’s not trying to to stab her in the heart, is plotting ways to steal it. Doesn’t he know she isn’t capable of love?
A Trial…
When learning children are disappearing without a trace here, the path of redemption for Clíona's troubled past is clear now: enter the Tuatha Dé Danann’s trials, and secure the prize—a single wish—to save the missing children. Armed with just a sword and her power, and the help of a warrior and a hunter, in order to triumph, Clíona must embrace the darkness that claimed her brother, or risk more bloodshed.
Flourish by the Night
Áine is a live-in employee at a Dublin B&B where when not serving, she moonlights as a free-spirited feminist looking for a good book or occasionally—a better one-night-stand.
Fionn is a recovering gambling addict hoping to start fresh after spending time in rehab. A stark opposite to Áine, he’s an optimist who believes anything is possible—even falling in love over a single night.
When Fionn walks into Áine’s run-down B&B on a rainy night, six years since their disastrous last meeting in school, they don’t even remember each other. That is until Fionn gets locked out of his room, and they’re forced to spend the night together. As memories come rushing back, good and bad, conversations of their difficult childhoods and new ambitions quickly take a backseat to resurfacing feelings. But just as Áine considers this being their second chance, Fionn admits he’s emigrating to Australia come morning. It’s ‘right person, wrong time’ all over again.
