Finn's father, Cumhal of Clan Baiscne, is assassinated on the night of his birth. Cumhal was lord captain of the famed Fianna of Erin, a much feared, mounted knighthood of woodsmen warriors who risked their lives to protect their island country's many miles of rugged coastline from marauders and invaders. 

The Captaincy of the Fianna is a blood right heritage passing from father to son and a position of enormous power in Erin, indeed, second only to the High King himself. Young Finn grows up continually hunted by his father's enemies, who seek his death to steal that heritage. He must find a way to overcome enormous trials, both mortal and immortal if ever he hopes to regain his father's ancestral seat. 

Will Finn unlock the mysterious secret of the famed Salmon of Knowledge and defeat the hundred-year-deceased spirit of a legendary sage of history who challenges him to a magical game of chess? Will he be able to solve the riddle of the Hag at the Well of Healing Waters? Most frightening of all, how will Finn overcome Aillean of the Flaming Breath, a creature spawned in the dark of the underworld that visits great evil upon the Land of Erin, claiming the lives of any who confront it?

Only by victory over these and many other labors will young Finn grow to become the greatest of ancient Ireland's heroes, assuming at last the leadership to guide his countrymen in their noble quest for freedom. His tale is full of the whimsy of Faery, the guiding influences of the gods, and the deepest questions of honor, the code of manhood, courage and integrity.All Rights Reserved

Blood Moon (MalexMale Paranormal Fantasy) by BrieJames1

I am a ghost. A killer. A savior. A guardian. I am the vampyre prince. They think I was murdered by my uncle, the king - but I've been waiting, plotting, for this moment for two years. And he was never part of the plan - the alpha wolf making me question everything I've ever wanted. -------------- Reeve Rimeara is a young alpha, not yet ready to take his father's place and lead his pack, though his rising power can't be denied. Upon receiving his alpha rites, he is blessed with a sacred vision; one that shakes him to the core. And all too soon, his fate arrives at the border of his pack's land. Daire Heroux is the vampyre prince and a revered guardian, trained to be faster, stronger, and more lethal than any natural threat to the alpha wolf he might choose to one day serve. After his sire is murdered by the king, Daire fakes his own death to flee his coven and betray his kingdom, all in the hopes to untangle a web of murder and lies and bring vengeance upon the vampyre king. Reeve and Daire must stop battling each other, and themselves, before they can unite to try and stop a king whose power is unlike anything their world has ever known.

SunRider by flashhitter

I have seen men become Gods and I have seen Gods become dust... Magic pieces of armor rain from Lenova's skies, granting men God-like powers. Mountains move, lightning bends to command, and a man's future can be written in a book before it has even happened. In all this emerging chaos, teenage Finn SunRider holds only the simple goal of escaping his enslavement and exploring the world he lives in. Yet he has a problem-many problems in fact: -His mute friend has been kidnapped by a murderer whose greed is only limited by the amount of gems he can collect as a cloud above his head -The land is being conquered by a Sorceress and her golden Lich master who can create life at whim -And an ancient artifact with a hibernating power has grafted itself to Finn's arm, marking him a "Star-Child". Poor Finn has never experienced what free life has to offer (he doesn't even know what milk is) and now has ended up getting a lot more than he bargained for. -From flaming coal-coated vat-worms and two-directional streams to floating cities and underground pyramids, follow a fantasy journey of epic proportions! ©2017 Rafael Hohmann

Dragon Bound - The Saga of Flames and Frost by opheliasikes

Illara had trained all her life for this moment. She had been chosen - from all eligible women throughout the three kingdoms - to be presented to the dragon. Her noble sacrifice would ensure the safety of her lands for a full year. She glowed with pride at the thought. And any moment now the massive dragon would come soaring over the mountains, his massive strength and awesome power - What was this? Along a rocky pass, moving with the persistence of a love-struck cow, was something metallic. Something shiny. Her heart thundered with panic as the object drew closer and resolved into a shape. For she knew it could ruin everything. It could cause the destruction of all she held dear. It was a knight. * * * Half of all proceeds of the Dragon novelettes benefit battered women's shelters. While this first book is non-explicit, due to the strong sexual content and adult situations in future books, this romantic suspense series is recommended for readers aged 17+. The series is structured for readers to read along as I write them to offer feedback and suggestions on the complex storyline. If you're the style of reader who would prefer to wait until the entire series is finished before you tackle it, that is fine! Simply wait until the series is complete and I'll offer the boxed set. I do that with all of my books. The reason I publish as I write is that I don't write full time and it can sometimes take months for me to finish up a storyline. There are readers who don't want to wait - who would rather read along as I go and stay engaged in the process. That way they can provide feedback and suggestions on the storyline. Whichever way works well for you, I provide an option. I'd love to hear from you at my website at OpheliaSikes.com.

The Sword of Stone - Sworn Honours by Ewanmackenobi99

"I am the sword of the crown, the shield of the realm and protector of the people. Without doubt, without failure, I shall guard the innocents against the malignant forces of magic. I give my heart and soul to the righteous and pray for the Father's mercy, for I shall show none." Sir Rolan Coytak, a paladin of the Holy Paladin Order of Farikesh, a seasoned and grizzled knight of twenty long years, is sent on a mission to the lands south of the Kingdom of Harliya, Amberfall, to investigate the rumours of blood magic. Travelling with his clumsy and naive squire, Rolan is greeted by many people, many with grace and dignity, others with suspicion. He is told by the Baron of these lands, the young Simon Greycrow, about bandits in ruins deep within the Redwoods of Amber that may hold what he seeks. But as Rolan travels these dark, beautiful, eerie forests, he learns that magic is not the only problem these lands have. Facing a great challenge as he uncovers the truth of the rumours, Rolan must make a decision that may haunt him for the rest of his life.

Who will Arise? by MashBap

Waking up face down in mud sucks any day of the week. But coming around in the sludge of a strange realm...? Well, that just redefines a bad day altogether. Trapped in an unfamiliar world, sixteen-year-old Quinn is frustrated that none of the strange Tree People appreciate his urgency to get back home to earth. Now he is faced with a choice that could change the course of his life: escape and find his own way home, or stay and help them find the cause of the poison ravishing their world. When the mind-reader unlocks one of the ancient mysteries of the Tree People it points to the only way of saving them from annihilation: they have to find the Power of Light. What exactly that means, the mind-reader doesn't reveal, but his next warning comes as a shock to all present: finding the mysterious Power of Light can only be done with the help of the dangerous enemy tribe whom they once called family. Quinn soon finds himself a little more entangled in the lives of these gifted beings than he'd care to be. Especially after meeting Jazz: the feisty girl from his world who seems to be a regular visitor to the world of Zoay. To Quinn's constant frustration, the aqua-eyed pixie makes it clear that she's not there to make friends. On their journey they'll brave bizarre encounters in dangerous alien forests, while sacrificing pride and will for the survival of all. Along the way Quinn finds more than he ever thought to seek: purpose, fulfillment and love. When the Power of Light is finally found a devastating discovery is made: if all of Zoay-including their enemy-want to live and prosper, one must be willing to sacrifice their life.

The Purple Eyed Girl by pienenspike

Thousands of centuries ago humans, vampires, and werewolves lived together in harmony, considering one equal to the other. Ruled by a council of three kings, with one from each fullblood race, peace endured for quite some time. All of it was destroyed when many years later the new vampire and werewolf kings both wanted to rule over the kingdom alone. A massive war broke out between the vampires and the werewolves and millions of lives were lost. In a last attempt to stop the war one hundred years later, the land was divided into three kingdoms, the vampires, humans and werewolves. The borders were shut, crossbreeding was forbidden since it created halfbloods and demons and each kingdom was led by the king of their respective race. In secret, however, it was decided that the human king would watch over them all to prevent another war from ever happening again. Since the human kingdom laid inbetween the other two, the humans invented technology to keep all the races at bay and trained the warriors of their army as skilled hunters. As time and generations went by, the kingdoms became more isolated and the common humans forgot that supernatural beings even existed. However, the war had never truly been resolved so the hatred that the vampires and werewolves had for each other endured. When a mysterious murder occurs, chaos breaks out within the kingdoms. A throne must be taken, blood must be shed, a choice must be made and all must be answered by a girl with purple eyes.

Lutra. Where magic realms bounded by promises converge, ushering in an era of sorcery that reshapes the world's very fabric. Yet, hope lingers in the hands of three unlikely champions, who each embody the essence of their fractured land and wield inexplicable powers, even if they cannot fathom it yet. The Prince, scarred by the slaughter of the royal family, harbors an unquenchable thirst for revenge. Enduring years of torment, he unlocks an inner strength that not only transforms him but also alters the kingdom's destiny.

The Seer, caught in the King's oppressive regime, endures persecution by the once-noble protectors, the Riders, turned executioners. Betrayals and tragedy shape his path, bestowing upon him both a curse and a blessing, seeing the very future that hides illusively behind closed doors. In the gripping tale, 'Veil,' the trio's destinies intertwine as they strive to salvage a realm torn by darkness and treachery. I promise that you won't be able to put it down!
