Book 1: Into a Strange Land
The McGunnegals are all strange, and it has been that way for generations. They are too strong, or too fast, or too smart. Odd things happen when they are around. The neighbors say they are witches or devils, or have been snatched by changelings. Mothers hold their children close when they walk by, fearing they might catch the McGunnegal strangeness.
And it turns out grandpa is hiding a secret in his potato cellar that is the source of all their strangeness, a secret that has cast the dark shadow of famine over Ireland: he has opened a portal to the world of the Others, through which a dark goblin has crept to spread death and disease.
Chased by the goblin into the cellar, 13-year-old Colleen and her cousin Frederick fall through a portal into the magical world of The Others—a world where the creatures of Celtic legend are all too real, and where Colleen and Frederick must learn to rely on each other if they are ever to make it back home alive.
Book 2: Taming the Goblin
As Colleen begins to sense the latent power of the ancient bloodline that runs true in her veins, Frederick faces the poison of the Goblin Phage that threatens to transform him into one of the hideous creatures of night. Each set out on their own quests, Frederick to seek the help of a long-dead king and Colleen to set free the Witch’s captives. But can she trust her guide, the potentially treacherous Goblin Nous?
Book 3: The Witch and the Waking Tree
Twists and turns, dead goblin armies and giants, cracks in the universe, phantasms and wishing wells carry Colleen and Frederick far apart and back together again through time and space and between worlds until they encounter the ancient Witch that has ruled the Strange Land into which they have fallen—and find her to be someone totally unexpected.
High adventure, storms and monsters at sea, creatures of legend and myth, captures and escapes, magic and invention, terrible loss, fool-hearty daring, and a journey toward finding one’s true self all come together in these epic tales.
If you love Celtic fairy tales, Irish legends, and mythic symbols, this trilogy is for you!
