A FIERCE, WITCHY RETELLING OF IRISH MYTHOLOGY, FROM AN UNFORGETTABLE VOICE IN MYTHIC FICTION
RULER. MOTHER. GODDESS. WARRIOR.

PERFECT FOR FANS OF ELODIE HARPER'S THE WOLF DEN, ROSIE HEWLETT'S MEDEA AND COSTANZA CASATI'S CLYTEMNESTRA

They called me The Morrigan. I was magnificent. I was multitudes.
They twisted my story, stripped me away. But I will tell it now in my own voice.
It begins, as all the best stories do, in darkness.

From a storm-tossed sea, she arrives on the shores of Ireland. Red-haired, wrathful, shifting from bird to beast to woman.

The Morrigan, goddess of war and fate, endures centuries as invaders come and kings go, rulers shifting like the tide.

She seeks vengeance on Conchobhar and Cuchulainn, legends bent on destroying all that she loves. She watches queens fall, women silenced, and power stolen by men who carve history in their image.

But she is fury incarnate. And she will tear down their rule, shatter their chains, and set the women of Ireland free.

An electric debut retelling of Ireland’s mythic goddess of war, from a bold and powerful new voice.

Loved this retelling of all the myths from my childhood. Kim Curran has brought the tales kicking and screaming into 21st Century, modernising them for both new and old readers. Narrator is brilliant too! Mairead is a great actress and she has brought her skills to the narration!

Mairead read this gorgeously! I chose the audio because no matter what, my brain cannot wrap itself around Gaelic words and names. And I’m so glad I did. The narration was perfect for Morrigan’s story.

Gorgeous Narration to Ireland’s greatest myth

I simply love this book. A true epic story told over thousands of years. Brilliantly read with great supporting characters in Queen Maeve and Cu Chulainn.
