Discover Sinéad O’Hart’s Sword of the Sun, a captivating blend of Irish mythology and modern adventure for young readers!
From the award-winning author of The Silver Road, Sword of the Sun weaves a powerful tale set in contemporary Ireland, filled with ancient Celtic myths and gripping mysteries. When Ben and his family move from bustling Dublin to his mother’s remote childhood home, he finds himself surrounded by secrets and the magic of the Irish landscape. Mysterious lights flicker on a distant mountain, and crows seem to be watching his every move, even invading his dreams.
As Ben uncovers the legends of Ireland’s mythical heroes, he begins to realize these ancient stories may hold more truth—and danger—than he ever imagined. With trouble stirring, Ben must summon all his courage to face the power within him.
Sword of the Sun is a thrilling read for kids aged 9 and up, perfect for fans of Celtic folklore, adventure, and mystery. Comparable to the works of Catherine Doyle and Ross Montgomery, this book is an ideal choice for young readers captivated by magic and mythology.
