Exile to Érenn

   (4 reviews)
Genres: Fantasy Romance,
Sub-genres: Paranormal Romance, Mythic Fantasy

Fourteen-year-old Aiden Callahan has been expelled and shipped off to rural County Sligo for the summer. He expects boredom. Instead he finds ancient passage tombs and a mysterious boy named Cianán who seems to belong to the landscape itself.

As their bond deepens into first love, Aiden discovers that Cianán may be the last living remnant of the Tuatha Dé Danann, the mythic race who once ruled Ireland and retreated into the ancient mounds. But summer doesn’t last forever, and some connections come with a cost neither boy is prepared to pay.

This is the most remarkable love story I've ever read. Aside from just a boy meets boy the boy does boy, boy kisses boy story, this is a story with a true plot and tonnes of emotion. I have Irish heritage so this might have meant more to me than many. I had to read this in one day or I could not have slept.

Response from the author:

Thank you so much for your kind review. I’m always delighted to hear that people are enjoying my stories.
