The Draoidh’s Cearcall

When the Draoidh Rhyslin sets foot upon the shores of Saorsa, he carries more than his staff and shifting cloak-he carries the weight of prophecy. Haunted by gods who watch but cannot see his destiny, Rhyslin is drawn into a land already trembling under the shadow of chaos. The Orcan hordes march from the north, forbidden magics awaken in the east, and whispers spread of a dragon-born warlord raising banners of fire and death.In this fragile balance, alliances must be forged, and the ancient laws of bond and hearth remembered. The queens of the Ciad-Ghin clans-proud, fierce, and divided-look to him as both threat and hope. To walk among them is to step into a council where loyalty is bargained in blood, and where love itself becomes a binding force as dangerous as war.But Rhyslin is not alone. Around him gathers a circle-a cearcall-of women whose strength and devotion will shape the course of nations. Flur, young and unyielding, offers her heart with a courage that shames warriors. Ilyriatri, regal and weary, sees in Rhyslin a chance to heal her past. Vuuroena, bright with both jealousy and wonder, wrestles with what it means to be chosen. Together they will test the very limits of the Draoidh’s power, even as he reveals a secret that could shatter them: to survive, he must bind not one, but many.As the Dawn-Breaker, a living airship powered by elemental soulfire, takes flight across storm and sea, Rhyslin and his companions will face more than armies. Undead knights salute them from the skies, goddesses weave destinies in smoke, and betrayals echo through council halls where one wrong word could topple kingdoms. Each choice draws the Cearcall tighter, each bond deepens their strength-and their peril.The Draoidh’s Cearcall is the beginning of an epic saga set in the world of Crann Na Beatha, where love and law entwine, where gods judge and mortals defy, and where the greatest magic may be found not in spells, but in the courage to belong.Perfect for readers of epic fantasy and romantic fantasy alike, this first volume blends airship adventure, Celtic-inspired myth, political intrigue, and the intimate fire of chosen bonds.
