PRE-ORDER THE WITCHY, RADICAL RE-IMAGINING OF IRELAND'S MOST BELOVED SAINT AND GODDESS
In a wild, ancient grove at the edge of winter, a desperate girl prays to the gods for her freedom.
Born to a slave mother, sold in marriage to a brutal husband, none have ever listened to Brigid’s prayers.
But this time, a goddess answers . . . with a vision that will transform Brigid’s path forever.
Ireland lies on the precipice of change. The new Christian god is coming, a faith that Brigid can bend to her will, building a sisterhood and sanctuary for women with nowhere else to turn. As their numbers grow, so too do the rumours – of just what powers women can hold when they come together.
But power, like a flame, consumes as it grows. As Brigid rises, challenging kings, defying bishops, soon she must reckon with what she herself has become.
And as her enemies draw closer, eager to reclaim all she has taken from them, what – or who – will she sacrifice to hold on to her legacy?
A radical reimagining of Ireland’s most beloved saint, Brigid is the story of a woman who could never be caged – by men, by gods, or even by history itself.
