Treasures of Danu
About the book
Sean has spent years sketching faces from his dreams, only to see them appear on the news weeks later. Nobody believes him. His father thinks he’s ill. His mother says she believes that he believes it. So Sean hides the notebook, pretends to take the medication, and keeps quiet. Then one dream stops being a warning and starts being a memory. Sent to Ireland to stay with a great-aunt he barely knows, Sean begins uncovering the truth about his visions, his mismatched eyes, and the secret his family has kept from him for generations. Beneath Ireland lies Tír na nÓg, and it is dying. Its gods are fading, its cities are rotting, and something has been waiting a very long time for Sean to come looking. He’ll get answers. He just won’t survive them intact. Adult dark fantasy rooted in Irish mythology, with graphic violence, grief and mature themes.

About the author
I’m an indie author from the North West of England, although becoming an author was never actually part of the plan. I started writing Treasures of Danu because I had a story in my head that wouldn’t leave me alone, and somehow that turned into a 500-page adult dark fantasy rooted in Irish mythology. I like horror, humour, found family, complicated characters and stories that get a little darker than expected. When I’m not writing, I’m usually reading, listening to an audiobook on my commute, or trying to work out how on earth people are supposed to market a book once they’ve written one.
