description: A mysterious encounter in a bookshop is the first step in a race to save the world.Trapped in the ancient manuscript that Pidge finds is the spirit of the Morrigan, the Queen of Death and Destruction, which, unleashed, will pour untold harm into the world. The only way to destroy her is with her own blood: so the quest begins to protect the human race from the evil she wreaks.Set in an Ireland that is beyond time and place, the death-defying crusade that Pidge and Brigit undertake and the fantastical cavalcade of characters they encounter are both stirring and unforgettable.
