Celtic Stories

The saga of the Antony family continues as the next generations take up where their forebearers left off.

Andrea Noctiswell was never meant to arrive at Hogwarts quietly. Pulled from the shadows of an ordinary life and thrown into the heart of a world she barely understands, Andrea enters Hogwarts as a fifth-year with a magic no one can explain: ancient, dangerous, and tied to a bloodline long buried by secrets. Beneath the castle's enchanted halls, forgotten trials begin to awaken, whispers of rebellion grow louder, and forces older than Hogwarts itself start reaching for the power hidden in her veins. But magic is not the only thing waiting for her. There is Sebastian Sallow-brilliant, reckless, impossible to ignore-whose loyalty burns as fiercely as his ambition. What begins as curiosity soon becomes something far more dangerous: a bond forged through secrets, duels, forbidden rooms, and the kind of love that could either save them both... or destroy what little remains of them. As darkness rises and the truth of the Noctiswell legacy comes to light, Andrea must decide what kind of power she is willing to claim and what price she is willing to pay for the people she loves. Because some magic is inherited. Some magic is chosen. And some magic was written in the stars long before she ever set foot in Hogwarts.

Íse is a seer, afflicted since a child with visions of foresight. She foresees the execution of Silken Thomas Fitzgerald, along with five other men, one of whom she feels her heart would shatter if he were to die the death she has foreseen. But prophecies can be prevented and there is nothing she would not do to save the man in her visions from this brutal end. When the young chieftain Dermod Ó Sullivan Beare arrives in Cairbre, he proves a welcome distraction from her awful nightly visions of foresight and yet she feels she must resist him out of loyalty to a man she has never met... Íse begins to choose a different path, perhaps a different man but then she is captured. She finds herself a prisoner of James Fitzgerald, her father's greatest enemy. Prophecy and the man from her visions await, and while Walter Fitzgerald becomes her rescuer, it is only she who can save him from the death she has foreseen. A sweeping historical romance with fantasy elements set in 1533 in Tudor Ireland during the Silken Thomas Rebellion.

WARNING - This book contains mature themes. Sensitive readers may find some content upsetting. Ages 18 and up to read only. Cover from CANVA AI. Every kid has read them, or had them read to them. Fairy Tales, those legends and myths that evoked our imagination, captured our hopes and fears. Hope that no matter what evil witches, dragons or other obstacles we face, we can overcome and have a happily ever after. In the Disney versions. The Originals weren't made to package and sell a new age of romanticism to a youth who could grow up without the pallor of War and Poverty. Those stories were a warning, passed down from generation to generation. A chance to get away from the mundane is usually the start. Marina was a Princess in a thriving Kingdom, lost in daydreams and adventures until she rescues a handsome, drowning prince. Cue heartache at not having something she wants. What is a Princess to do? Naturally, she sacrifices her entire life to a Sea Witch for a chance to prove her love to the man she saved. And then she kills herself. That's how The Little Mermaid went. If only I had been that lucky. Which brings us to the other end of the spectrum. Rumpelstiltskin. What a mouthful. Even reading it is a pain. The King comes by and tells a poor family pay taxes or you die. Struggling to survive and facing execution from an idiot King, the millers daughter makes a deal with a little Demon - her firstborn for gold. What's a poor peasant woman to do? NATURALLY she agrees. For some reason, that idiot woman who made two impossible promises was saved by guessing the weirdest, most singular name in the world in a loophole to her contract. If not for copy and paste, that name wouldn't be around. Not a princess - not a peasant. I was a cashier. You'd think that would make me closer to the unnamed Queen. No one knew my name even though I had a name badge. What's a cashier to do when she goes up against an Evil Witch and her Son? I died. Unnaturally.
