When every choice he makes unleashes disaster, can a young man save his sister before he loses everything he loves?
Ireland, 520. In a mystical realm where the veil between mortals and the Otherworld is thin, a young hero must navigate a treacherous journey to reclaim what he holds most dear. Conall, a courageous nineteen-year-old with a heart of gold, would defy fate itself to protect his beloved little sister. When he witnesses his wicked stepfather assaulting her, he unleashes a hidden power to enable their escape.
But their flight into the untamed wilderness brings them face to face with a harsh reality. Hunger gnaws at their bellies, and despair threatens to consume their souls. Desperate and at the edge of his endurance, Conall turns to the fae of the forest, hoping they will answer his plea for salvation. He soon realizes that the price of their aid may be more treacherous than he ever imagined.
Though well aware of the fae's capricious nature, Conall risks accepting shelter from a mystical creature, driven by his unwavering determination to heal his sister. Little does he know that his decision will anger the Faerie Queen herself, who exacts a devastating price—his sister's sight.
Now, Conall embarks on a perilous quest to undo this wicked curse. As he ventures deeper into the enchanted lands, confronting ancient beings and unraveling the secrets of the Otherworld, he grapples with his own inner demons. Will he find the strength to break the chains of destiny and reclaim his sister's sight, or will he be consumed by the darkness that threatens to devour his soul?

from 890 reviewsI really enjoyed this intro to the Skye O'Shea Series. I found Skye interesting and relatable having started over myself after divorce without an inheritance to whisk me away. I'm excitedto see what hernew beginning brings.

Delightful story!

I really enjoyed this first in the Skye O’Shea series. I liked that the storyline was different and lots of Irish lore. I look forward to the next book in the series.

I ventured Into a new realm of Irish historical fiction, and was not disappointed. Book 1 in a series of 5 will keep me cozy for a few days. Looking forward to seeing what else the author has in store for me.

What an engaging and entertaining book! Plenty of twists and turns and wonderfully crafted red herrings! You never know whether your instinct as to who the killer could be is right or not, and juuuust when you think you’ve got it, there ar little seeds of doubt. LOVE IT. Great characters, thrilling and exciting series of events. Highly recommend if you like murder mysteries, Ireland, and more than a wee bit it the woogety woo!

This one really gets into the rituals of the fae, history of her Gran's life and who she was. People arrive that cause a whole of trouble and a death.

A fun read. I like the Ireland location and the references to old Irish folk lore. Characters interesting, more fleshed out than in many books. I'm moving on to the next one.

Not what I expected. The book is fresh with mystery and Irish folk lore. One I started reading it. I didn't want to stop until the end.

I received this book by the author with no compensation or conditions to write a review. I found this storyline to be quite interesting & plan to read more books in this series. I enjoy the paranormal genre & this prequel checked the boxes for me. If you enjoy this genre, I suggest you give it a try.

Read the prequel a few days ago and was hooked. Troubles between exes lead Skye into a world in Ireland she doesn't yet understand. Leaving problems behind in the states, she sets off for Ireland and an unexpected inheritance from her grandmother.Problems arise as son as Skye sets foot in Irish soil. Mysterious death, suspicions about Skye's family and unexpected behavior from the people.Add to that mystical happenings, noises in the night, A talking cat, and many other beings from Irish folklore make for an entertaining read. Ready for the next.

Excellent book. The characters where outstanding! Keep you guessing to the end.can't wait to continue the story! Gram is my favorite character.

I am enjoying the Irish story setting. Hope the series continues past book three.

This is a nice read! Interesting and imagination capturing. Great to read a fantasy that's not full of angst but mature life issues.

Really good read. Not too predictable, has enough twists to maintain interest. The kind of.escape.you want tomread.straight thru, cover to cover

To protect his young sister, Conall, and Lainn flee their home for safety or death in the wilderness. The broach must be kept hidden but he will not hesitate to call on its magic if needed. Who will help them? Who will seek to destroy them? Druids, priests, friends, foes, fae…can any be trusted? Their journey spans worlds with treachery and danger in both.Christy Nicholas has delivered another well-written book in this spell-binding series. Her writing brings the characters to life. I received an advance copy but my review is honest and voluntary.
Conall Continues the Tradition of the BroochContinuing the Druid Brooch series, this is the story of Conall and his sister, Lainn. Fatherless (did he die or disappear?), stuck with a stepfather who supports them/their mother, but is just not a good man (and a mother who cannot protect her children).Conall is a complex character, with a strong sense of loyalty to his mother and sister. He tends to subjugate his own preferences and goals to protect them – and is tortured by his decisions and sacrifices.The brooch – and its power – are still core to this. The magic drives so much of the action, even when subtle.Bridges the rich world of ancient Ireland, as well as the complex world of the Fae. Delves into the environment and the influence of the faeries in the human world.
I thought that this book was interesting and entertaining. Nicholas is a good storyteller. I loved the history, well, if I wouldn’t, then I wouldn’t choose this book. I loved the setting, and I loved most characters. However, I didn’t like everything that happened. Still, I recommend this well-written book; it’s a good read!
A brother's vow to protect his sister appears to be constantly plagued with not so good decisions. He tends to make further vows only to break them too.
In my assessment, though I liked them all, this is the best book in the Brooch story. The author pulled me so much in that I forgot the time. This is the story of Connall (the boy with the power of the brooch) and his sister Lainn (who is being trained by the Druids) as they escape from the horrors of home. They find themselves in the Fae world and face many adventures and challenges. The characters from Ammatan to Adhna all add to the flavor of the story. The book is rich in entertainment, rich in storytelling and rich in depth. Absolutely looking forward to the rest of the story.
