Lann Dàn – Blades of Destiny: Dàn Cycle One

In the fifth century, the arrival of a brutal band of pre-Viking Norse raiders entwines the Mother Goddess of Celtic Ireland in a desperate bid to rid her island of the invaders turned settlers. Danu and her fellow Tuatha Gods draw Breanna Ban Morna, a Gaelic warrior with blood from both sides, into a quest to find the missing Lann Dàn, one of three pieces of magic needed to remove the Norse leader and his ilk from their land.

While meeting Danu in a secret grove, Croí Dàn, the Heart of Destin, chooses Breanna as Erin’s Hero. As the Mother Goddess sets the young warrior on her quest to find the Blades of Destiny, little does Breanna know that the Norse leader has invoked ancient enemies of the Tuatha to stop her. It takes an intervention by another God of the Tuatha pantheon to ensure that Erin’s Hero can pursue her goal of removing the Norsemen from their land.

Yet, when the headstrong warrior chosen by the Tuatha Gods to save the Gaels of Erin learns her Chief is in danger, she decides he must be her priority and not another quest for magic laid upon her by the Sun God, Lugh. Will her decision doom them all to a destiny that leads to the Norse ruling of the Gaels of Erin?
