Product Description
From an ancient, storm-tossed sea, a tribe of gods reaches the rocky shores of Ireland. Among them, was a strange, hungry, red-haired girl. A girl who can change shape, from bird to beast to goddess. A girl who dreams of battle, of blood, of death and power.
She does not know yet that her journey will take a thousand years. That her name will be remembered for a thousand more.
She is The Morrigan: a girl with rage coiled in her chest. Beautiful, powerful, ravenous rage. A rage that will live forever.
An electric retelling of Ireland’s goddess of war, from a bold and powerful new voice.
Kim Curran’s hair-raising, visionary The Morrigan does for Ireland what William T Vollmann’s histories do for America: Reimagining myth into national foundations of rage and fire. Thrilling and bloody from first page to last, this is an extraordinary portrait of a goddess, a warrior, a woman. Welcome to a stunning new voice in literary fiction
Kim Curran was born in Dublin and grew up in London. She holds a degree in Philosophy and Literature from Sussex University and is a freelance Creative Director and Royal Literary Fund Fellow. The Morrigan is her debut adult novel.
