Unseen

Coming Soon...

Fans of For the Throne and Vespertine will love this dark fairy-tale retelling of the Irish fable of ‘The Snow, The Crow, and the Blood,’ about a desperate young queen who makes an unholy alliance with the dread lord of death himself in order to protect the one she loves, even if means damning herself.

Riona Ó Conchúir has known death her whole life. The mysterious lord of death has tormented her for years, stealing away the souls of all those she has loved since childhood, demanding that she come and serve him in his shadowy realm, but she has always resisted - until now.

When her daughter falls ill with an incurable disease, Riona at last answers the lord of death’s call and ventures into the hidden realm of the sídhe to offer herself as a servant to him in exchange for her daughter's life. But when he demands that she use the divine magic of her blood to find three legendary objects of power that were once wielded by the gone gods themselves, Riona knows that there is something far more ominous at play.

Conor Ó Ruairc has loved Riona for as long as he can remember. But when she disappears into the night, abandoning both him and their sick child, he forces himself to try his best and forget her, and to instead concentrate on finding a cure for their daughter – until one stormy night, Riona again appears on his doorstep, desperate and pleading for his help, so that she can complete her bargain with the lord of death and at last be free.

As Riona and Conor learn again to trust one another in order to satisfy the lord of death’s dark demands, they soon realize that they will be forced to make an impossible choice – their daughter’s life, or the realm of Éire itself.
