Synopsis

Bansi O'Hara returns in a fast-paced, funny and frightening adventure. She could be excused for wanting a quiet life after the events of The Bloodline Prophecy, where an ancient prophecy from the land of the faeries nearly made her come a cropper at the hands of their Dark Lord. But back into Tir na n'Og she must go - this time to rescue her mum, who is being held captive as a bride for the Dread Cruach. Helped (and often hindered) by Granny and her bickering pal Nora Mullarkey, can Bansi defeat this most sinister of sprites?
