The Knight & His Magical Library (The Castle in Kilkenny: Fairy Tales, #2)
About
This collected edition includes both stories featuring Rian of Kilkirk…a tender-hearted warrior in Heroic Ireland who is forced to manage two Fae “gifts.”
What if you could read any book in the world....even the ones that haven’t been written yet?
Rian hates the king’s training program. After the first year’s Trials, he escapes to the cellars...where he finds a magical library and a wren-like Fae who explains that he can choose his own fate. Each year, one figurine crumbles and one possible fate disappears because of the choices he’s made. He should be able to make the Warrior disappear before he turns eighteen, right?
He’s got this hero gig down…
until he meets a woman who changes the rules
Rian is used to the enchantment that yanks him through time to rescue people. When a new lady-in-waiting shows up at his boss’s castle, Rian sees immediately that Maura is from another time. First flirtation, then danger, then rescue. Check.
But then… his armlet doesn’t force him into action, and Maura keeps defying his expectations.
Read now, to journey back to 3rd-century Ireland with a reluctant young hero! With characters based on Irish mythology, this historical fantasy has plenty of action but no gore.
