The prequel...

For the sake of peace, Brigid of the Tuatha dé Danann enters into an arranged marriage with Bres, the next chieftain of the enemy Fomorians, whose weapons and brute strength challenge Danann magic. Brigid is told to spy for her people and keep the source of their powers secret — dangerous tasks that complicate her desire to make the best of her forced union.

Scared, but determined to make the marriage work to save her people from annihilation, Brigid faces the Fomorians alone. She begins to suspect that her husband is breaking the truce through lies and political manipulation and she soon discovers betrayals on both sides. When Bres’s tyranny threatens the very existence of the Danann, Brigid must risk her life to unseat him from power.

Set in a time when myths were reality, Once a Goddess brings the legend of Ireland's magical Tuatha dé Danann to life.

PRAISE FOR ONCE A GODDESS

“Lamb's excellent writing and story telling immediately cast a spell on me and I can't wait to read the sequel. My only complaint was when the novel ended. In fact, I actually groaned; not because the ending was abrupt or anything like that, but because I wanted to read more!”

“The imagery was beautiful and very detailed as well. If you wish to get lost in a world where myths and legends are reality then check out Once A Goddess.”

“Great story, well written, strong characters. I was impressed with how strong and self-sufficient many of the female characters were written.”

“An enthralling Celtic adventure.”
