Prelude to a Poet-Seer

A deep dive into Celtic lore through a mythic retelling set in Iron Age Ireland. A story about Fedelm—the poet and prophetess in the ancient Irish epic, The Táin. 

She can't be silenced. She can't unsee the truth. 

Within Fedelm arises a powerful poetic and prophetic voice, a voice her tribe tries to have silenced forever with a tongue-binding curse. 

To liberate her voice from the curse, Fedelm pledges to the queen of the Tuatha Dé Danann to become a poet-seer and tell the untold tales about the peoples who ruled Ireland long ago. But Fedelm finds the path to becoming a poet-seer novice difficult and dangerous. And if she fails to uphold the pledge, the otherworldly queen will bind her tongue forevermore. 

Prelude to a Poet-Seer is the first book in the Book of Fedelm series. 

For fans of Juliet Marillier and Shauna Lawless.
