This book is fantastic!

We follow the lives of two women, Gormflaith and Fodla.
Gormflaith is the widow of the King of Dublin. She is also one of the last Fomorians, immortals with the gift of fire magic. Her only goal is to see her son become King.

Fodla is Tuatha De Danann. She is a gifted Healer. The Tuatha are forbidden from living among the mortals, so they live in a hidden fortress.

The Tuatha have been hunting and killing the Fomorians for decades. They believe they have finally wiped them all out.

The remaining Fomorians are afraid to use their magic for fear that it will draw the attention of the Tuatha. But it may be too late.

I loved this so much! I loved the Irish mythology mixed with the history. I loved the characters, especially Fodla. I hated a couple of them as well, but it made the story even better. I am very excited for the next one. The writing is top notch! This is definitely a new favorite.

Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for an e-arc.
