The sequel to the critically acclaimed The Children of Gods and
Fighting Men, The Words of Kings and Prophets is the powerful new
historical fantasy novel by Shauna Lawless. Ireland, 1000 AD.
Gormflaith is unhappily married to Brian Boru, High King of
Ireland, and although a queen she struggles with her limited
position. As an immortal Fomorian with the secret gift of magic,
Gormflaith has a burning desire: to find and destroy the hidden
fortress of her sworn enemies, the Descendants, who seek to kill
her kind at all costs. She begins to use her magical powers, and
discovers she is more skilled than she ever realised... but can she
control what she will become? Meanwhile Fódla, the Descendants'
healer, mourns her banished sister but clings to life as the
guardian of her young nephew. She seeks a place of safety for them
both, but he has secrets of his own that could threaten everything
– and Fódla must do all in her power to keep him hidden away
from those who would use him for evil. When a mysterious man comes
to King Brian's court, his presence could spell disaster or
deliverance for both Gormflaith and Fódla – and for Ireland
herself. For he is Tomas, an ambitious immortal with few scruples
– and he will do anything to see his plans become reality. Soon,
mortals and immortals alike are drawn towards a bitter conflict
that could decide the future of Ireland and all her people.
