Interpretation Toward Books Daughter of Ireland

I am the wind which breathes on the water.
I am the swell of the sea.
I am the light of the sun.
I am the point of the battle spear.
I am the God who gives fires to the mind.
Who announces the ages of the moon?
Who speaks to the setting of the sun?
I, only I.

Aislinn ni Sorar, druid priestess of ancient Ireland, is a visionary. Raised according to the ancient ways and seeking to use her gifts to keep the old magic strong, she has the power to part the mists of time and see events that might shape a nation.

But Aislinn’s own past is shrouded in mystery, and her quest to discover that past will bring her pain, as well as true love, and will set in motion a chain of events that will alter both her own future and that of her beloved Ireland.

For there is a new spirit upon the land whose presence heralds a rendering--and a remaking--of this world. His way had been foretold long ago and threatens to change everything. And Aislinn is at the heart of that change.

Will she give up everything that she loves to help her people find the true God, or will she turn to the dark forces that threaten to keep the old ways at any cost?

Daughter of Ireland continues Juilene Osborne-McKnight's exploration of Irish history, combining fine historical research with skillful storytelling. Her focus this time is none other than Cormac mac Art, ancient and venerated King of Ireland, and the path the Irish people follow to find the one true God. Osborne-McKnight has crafted an engaging young heroine who chronicles both Celtic mythology and early pagan/Christian theology through her travels, and re-creates a world whose conflicts over power, religion, and law are as immediate and far-reaching as those same conflicts in our own time.

Commentary Of Books Daughter of Ireland

The beginning to middle of the book started out in fantasy with much written about Druidism and the Celts- Druidism was the main religion of the Celts of the time.Somewhere in the middle there was a huge trainwreck of misplaced history and the Druids became Christians, and the Druid law was changed ect.I felt the book should have picked a religion in the beginning and stuck with it, either ancient Druidism or Christianity but not try to work both religions in the same timeframe.

There aren't many published books taking place during this period in Irish history so I was really excited to read this. The writing was competent enough and sometimes poetic, no complaints there in a genre where prose and dialogue can get really cheesy and grandiose. I was promised adventure, magic, history, and mythological heroes. To some degree I was given some of these things, but cheated on others. This is primarily a love story that tries hard to be epic but the threats didn't feel big or

Next to Patrick this is my second favorite irish book :)

I admit to having a deep bias in favor of anyone who enjoys writing about the ancient Celts and has the courage to try to resurrect a world so different from ours. I enjoyed Ms. Osborne-McKnight's earlier novel ("I am Ireland") &, as a folklorist, I appreciate her scholarship and her weaving of Irish mythology into a human story. In "Daughter of Ireland", the author focuses on the coming of Christianity to Ireland and creates a love story centering around two conflicting faiths, Druidry

As a lover of all things Irish and Scottish, I have to adore this book...plus it has druids, a druid priestess who is hot, dashing warriors with swords, mystical nature scenes, betrayal, and a great plot...what is not to love!
