The creatures of his world, from the ants in the grass to the birds in the sky, have disappeared. What’s more, Cernunnos himself feels as if he is too. Something is draining him and the land of Ar Dachaidh, and he doesn’t know what.
Will Cernunnos be able to save his creatures and cure himself of this ail? Or will whatever has taken root in the world tear him down too?

THE SPIRAL OF LIFE
The first lesson Eilean MacAlistair learned in blacksmithing: First, you harden, and then you temper.
Otherwise, your metal will break.
The same is true with life.
A few years back, Eilean didn’t temper herself, and she broke someone. Badly. Hospital badly.
Her family had to flee Scotland because of her, but now they’ve returned, and 17-year-old Eilean’s life feels like a forge with the temperature rising around her. Mamó is sick, her family is straining at the seams, and magic is real!
An Otherworld has been calling to her from beneath Loch Lomond.
When she answers, Eilean discovers a world of blacksmiths in ballgowns, cruel cyclopses, and chronically critical kelpies.
Because she didn't have enough problems to deal with already.
Will Eilean be able to temper herself against everything in this strange new world, and withstand the weight of her past? Or will she break once again?
Find out in the first adventure of Eilean in the Otherworld, The Spiral of Life, a young adult fantasy inspired by Celtic folklore.

THE PHANTOM QUEEN LISTENS
What happens when a Seer is called to war?
She foresees the future.
Morrigan, Goddess of War and Foresight, has not been home for many years. Battle and death are all she has known in that time as the Gods of war fight an unknown and infallible enemy.
But then something changes.
Morrigan has a vision. One that shows two outcomes for Ar Dachaidh, her home. And she must find a champion to save it.
See the potential future for the Celtic Gods in The Phantom Queen Listens, a follow-up short story to The Spiral of Life, a young adult fantasy based on the Celtic figures of Irish and Scottish folklore.

THE BREAKING OF WORLDS
The second lesson Eilean learned in blacksmithing: Nothing is unfixable, unless you've polished.
Only then are you screwed.
Then you must start from scratch.
A few months ago, Eilean gave up her lifeline to save her Mamó and a God. She’d hoped that would be the end of it, until a Goddess gave Eilean vague hints of her future. Because Gods never make things simple.
Now with Ar Dachaidh’s color still fading, Cernunnos’ strength yet to return, and a dead Goddess, Eilean must find an Order who will help her save the Celtic Gods from their impending doom. Totally easy, right?
Enter The Order of Albion, an ancient Druid society who have centuries of knowledge and magical skill to pass on. And they’ve been waiting for Eilean and Freya’s arrival.
With their guidance, Eilean discovers new abilities, gains lessons in restraint, and, for once, is finally feeling normal. But with time running out, if Eilean doesn't temper her skills, they risk losing the Otherworld entirely.
Will Eilean be able to master her powers fast enough to save Ar Dachaidh? Or will the pressure crack her poorly forged façade? This Summer, things are only getting more complicated.
Find out why in The Breaking of Worlds, the second story in the Eilean in the Otherworld series, a young-adult fantasy inspired by Celtic mythology.
