Introducing: The Albean Chronicles
An epic 8-book saga telling a story of war, adventure, friendship, sacrifice, and ordinary people making impossible choices in an extraordinary world.
Ancient gods. Forgotten relics. A war that was never really over.
The Albean Chronicles is a contemporary Celtic fantasy series where the gods, monsters, and legendary artifacts of ancient mythology are very real—and the modern world is about to rediscover them.
Twenty-one-year-old Liam O’Kean never expected to become part of an ancient supernatural conflict. Neither did his friends Cara and Dermot. But when their lives collide with a war between the godlike Tuatha and the monstrous Fomorians, the three are pulled into a world of forgotten kingdoms, dangerous magic, and relics powerful enough to change the course of history.
At the centre of it all are the Four Treasures of the Tuatha Dé Danann: legendary artifacts once wielded by the gods themselves.
And some things were forgotten for a reason.
Book 1: The Staff of the Dagda
In the sleepy little seaside Scottish town of Mara, the townspeople whisper of odd happenings: Unexplained disappearances. Sightings of impossible creatures. Strange markings all over town.
For 21-year-old Liam O’Kean, these ghost stories were little more than fodder for his biting sarcasm. That is, until a brush with death brings him face-to-face with a group of mythical beings known as the Tuatha Dé Danann and a world where legends are real.
Trading in his job at an underground fight club for a sacred gift and a burdensome calling, Liam soon discovers that only he can recover the Staff of the Dagda, break the mysterious curse over the town of Mara, and lead the charge to drive back the evil Fomorians. But to do that, he’s going to need some help from his friends.
Join Liam O’Kean and friends as they discover a new world of magic, mystery, and danger. Follow them on their journey as they master strange new powers in a mystical world of peculiar creatures, legendary artifacts, and fateful choices. Pulled into a war that is not theirs to fight, they soon discover that true power comes from knowing who you are.
“My people have been at war for a long time, Liam. And I have worked very hard to keep your kind out of that war. But despite my best efforts, my war is about to spill into your world — and you might be our only hope to win on both fronts.”
