Genres: Fantasy/ Dark Fairytale
A dark, lyrical retelling of the Celtic legend of Etain. It’s set between the human world and the perilous otherworld of Irish mythology.
Born with the gift of prophesy, Etain becomes an outcast when she reveals an unsettling truth. Born into a world where she doesn’t belong, she’s ready to take her chances in another. In doing so, she must choose between love and survival. Blending the folklore of The Bear and the Nightingale, the mythic reinvention of Circe, and the historical authenticity of Sistersong, the story combines emotional intimacy with elemental scale. Bold in imagination, precise in execution, and original in voice, WIND OF ASSAULT AND MAGIC explores gendered identity, power, and the cost of being different. WIND OF ASSAUL T AND MAGIC combines the immersive storytelling of popular fantasy with the thematic ambition of literary fiction. It has the scope, sophistication, and emotional resonance to become a breakout crossover title.
