AND call romance novels research...tell my husband I'm working while I devour a romance series. (less)

Irish mythology does most of the heavy lifting. The folklore is genuinely stranger and darker than anything I could invent — ancient kings who were shapeshifters, battles fought with satire instead of swords, gods who kept coming back after dying. I See Full Answer
