The Words of Kings and Prophets by Shauna Lawless
The new historical fantasy adventure that intertwines traditional mythology with the eleventh-century wars in Ireland, by irish author Shauna Lawless.
Lawless continues to weave a tale of power, magic and ambition… brimming with tension and a real love of Ireland and its history, The Words of Kings and Prophets is a welcome return to a world of enthralling historical fantasy * SciFi Now *
Even more impressive than its predecessor..a great sense of history and perhaps best of all, the gentle presence of Celtic magic permeates the entire novel * GeekDad *
It’s drawn comparisons to both Game of Thrones and The Last Kingdom, but with its own distinct flavor thanks to its Irish roots and clashing factions of magic. If you’re a fan of either of those series this is one you probably want on your radar. * Winter Is Coming *
The perfect blend of magic, mythology, and history... captivating * Grimdark Magazine *
Fully showcase[s] Shauna Lawless' impressive flair for originality and her mastery of the historical action/adventure fantasy genre * Wisconsin Bookwatch *
Lawless blends the fantasy, myth, and historical elements with a masterly hand. There is a wonderfully atmospheric sense of place, I slipped into the pages and visualised my surroundings as I explored... I could feel this world balancing on an edge ready to plummet. An enthralling and entirely satisfying read. -- Liz Robinson * LoveReading *
Gripping and beautiful. A Celtic Last Kingdom with wild magic and fierce heroines. -- Anna Smith Spark on Shauna Lawless
Highlander meets The Last Kingdom... Themes of motherhood and conflicted obligation lie at the heart of Shauna Lawless's historical fantasy, explored through the eyes of two powerful women compelled to navigate a land where men hold sway, or think they do. I was hooked from page one. -- Anthony Ryan on Shauna Lawless
Shauna Lawless is an unbelievable talent — The Words of Kings and Prophets is utterly magical and completely captivating. * Sarah Underwood *
