About this listen

A multi-award winning coming-of-age story of magic and pagan ritual steeped in the mysticism of Celtic Mythology and the ancient stone circles of Ireland.

“Since I was a little girl I’ve been labeled a freak in my small town. There’s no blending in when your mom practices an ancient pagan religion and everyone believes she’s a witch. On my 15th birthday my secret wish is the same as always - to just be normal. But that’s not what I get. Not even close.” (Brigit Quinn)

Instead, Brigit is shocked to learn she’s descended from a legendary Celtic tribe - powerful people who serve as guardians of the stone circles of Ireland. A spellbound audiobook of family history reveals the magical powers of her ancestors. Powers that could be hers - if only she wanted them.

And when someone sinister and evil returns to steal her family’s strength, Brigit has to make a decision. Fight to keep her unique heritage or reject it for the normal life she’s always wanted.

Awards: Kindle Book Award Finalist (Young Adult), Readers' Favorite Book Award Finalist (Young Adult-Fantasy), Gotham Writers' YA Novel Discovery Contest Finalist, and BRAG Medallion Honoree.

I received a free audiobook in exchange for an unbiased review. I really enjoyed the concept of this book, the idea of women in one’s family being able to write their stories and teachings into a book that would then come alive for future generations was so intriguing!

I found myself wanting to know more and more about each woman’s story and what they had to teach to their future descendants from their lives. I think Biel wrote the story in a clever way, as the moments that the story takes us into the past are just as intriguing as Brigit’s response to them and her development as a character the more she explores these stories.

As a personal lover of Ancient History, I am fascinated by the celts and feel that this is definitely a book for those who are interested in Celtic folklore. If you’re a fan of books such as the Falling Kingdom series or The Cruel Prince, then I think this is a book for you.
