The Danans #3
Search for the Starblade
The champion of ancient Ireland—on a quest for blood and magic!
A WARRIOR'S QUEST
The swordplay of Oghmal, brother to the Queen of the Danans, is celebrated throughout the isle of Tirtangir. Yet nowhere can he find a weapon worthy of his warrior's prowess. Legend has it that a blade fashioned from a fallen star will be indestructible...and will defeat all sorceries and spells.
For such a star-stone, Oghmal must leave the shores of ancient Ireland and journey in search of an enchanted island—one which appears only at sunset, shining beneath the sea, or floating in the sky at sunrise. There the secret lies...and peril beyond imagining.
