Lann Dàn – Blades of Destiny Revised Edition III
Her gods have set her on a path. Magical blades await. Can she rise as Erin’s Hero?
For nearly two decades, a geas-driven warrior born of both Gaelic and Norse blood has lived under the harsh rule of a Norse Jarl who invaded her land. Raiders turned settlers now refuse to leave Erin, and the gods are preparing to force a reckoning.
In ancient Ireland—where the Tuatha Dé Danann walk hidden among mortals—clans fracture beneath the weight of conquest and uneasy truces. Storms still gather over the northern seas, and deep beneath Erin’s hills, old magic—lost and dangerous—stirs once more.
Breanna Ban Morna chooses direct conflict. As her Gaelic gods demand more, she is driven to seek ancient relics, wield more than steel, and uncover the truth of her lineage. To rise as Erin’s Hero, she must confront divine manipulation itself and decide whether she will submit to the fate others would forge for her…or carve her own with the Blades of Destiny.
If she fails, the Emerald Isle will not merely fall.
It will be claimed forever by gods who feast on conquest and ash.
Begin the legend where destiny is first forged—step into Blades of Destiny, Book One of The Destiny Cycle.
