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.

Kim Curran’s hair-raising, visionary The Morrigan does for Ireland what William T Vollmann’s histories do for America: Reimagining myth into national foundations of rage and fire. Thrilling and bloody from first page to last, this is an extraordinary portrait of a goddess, a warrior, a woman. Welcome to a stunning new voice in literary fiction
The Morrigan's strength, frailty, rage and resilience is that of every woman who has ever lived. Curran summons her boldly from the old tales, giving her a voice that is more vital and relevant than ever. The Morrigan may be the most powerful book you will read this year
Like Madeline Miller, Curran has taken centuries of Irish legend and harnessed a powerful retelling for modern readers. A timely feminist battle cry with pitch perfect writing
A fearless and ferocious retelling that does great justice to the original stories, effortlessly navigating an epic scale with heartbreaking intimacy. Kim Curran is an astonishing talent
Transported back to ancient Ireland, The Morrigan took me on a breathtaking journey brimming with fury and longing. In her own words, The Morrigan weaves a tale rich with magic, and visceral with female rage, as resonant now as in the age of Gods and Goddesses, and the warring tribes of Ireland. Captivated from start to finish, I dreamed of The Morrigan and her lust for vengeance long after I read the last page. Stunning!
Kim Curran's The Morrigan will do for Irish mythology what Madeline Miller did for Greek. I fell in love with her lyrical prose and the way she brought the complex layers of the Morrigan myth to life in all her fierce fury and glory. An absolute triumph
Breathtaking in scope, blistering in truth, The Morrigan is a beautifully dark tale of rage, power and love. Razor-sharp, profound and intensely moving, this is more than a retelling. Kim Curran’s writing is lyrical, brutal and sublime - a stunning story of sisterhood as relevant today as it has ever been. I adored it!

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.

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!
