Ierne Celtic Historical Fiction & All Things Celtic

Title: Bright Sword of Ireland Author: Juilene Osborne-McKnight Publisher: Forge Books Price: $1.00 as of 2008-12-16 00:21 - Details... My Rating:

The author is one of a handful of modern writers keeping Celtic mythology alive. This delightful novel focuses on Queen Medb and her daugther Finnabair.

Amazon request error #400The author deftly weaves two tales, one of Saint Patrick and the other of mythical Fennians. Using the meeting of Patrick and Osian, bard and son of Fionn Mac Cumhail, she recounts many of the Fennian myths, such as Finn and the Salmon of Knowledge, as well as legendary acts of Patrick, such as the lighting of the fires at Tara. Well executed and enjoyable.
