The Land of the Living and the Dead

In the gripping tale of The Land of the Living and the Dead, ancient rivalries and political intrigue ignite a fierce battle for control in medieval Ireland.

In The Land of the Living and the Dead, the stage is set in medieval Ireland, where the impending threat of war looms over both mortal and magical realms. The narrative unfolds in 1011 AD, as High King Brian Boru faces rebellion from the mortal kingdoms eager to usurp his throne. However, the true conflict lies between the ancient magical races of Ireland: the Fomorians and the Descendants, whose age-old enmity now threatens to spill over into the mortal world. The stakes are high, and the outcome could reshape the very fabric of history.

At the heart of this turmoil is Gormflaith, the queen of Brian, who conceals her Fomorian identity and harbors ambitions of absolute control over Ireland. With cunning and power, she seeks to eliminate the Descendants and secure her reign. Yet, her plans hinge on alliances and betrayals, forcing her to navigate a treacherous landscape where trust is scarce.

Fódla, a Descendant with ties to King Brian’s court, finds herself caught in the crossfire of these competing interests. As divisions within her kind threaten to unravel their unity, she must act decisively to reveal the schemes brewing in the shadows. With lives hanging in the balance, Fódla faces a harrowing choice: can she unveil the looming evil before it’s too late? The clash of forces promises a bloody confrontation that will forever alter the destiny of Ireland.
