In Search of the Hero God (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780995628175)

From a USA Today bestselling author comes a tale of magic, myth and Irish music.

He just wants to surf and play Irish trad music, but the gods have other plans.

Surfing and music are all that sounds good to Luke at this point in his life. Especially after the betrayal of the one woman he thought shared his musical passion. But the gods won't let him rest, and though he suspects that some great and terrible danger is afoot that threatens the land, he wants no part of it, the past has scarred him too heavily. So spending the summer hiding among the surfer dudes of a West Cork town with his close friend Mon seems the perfect answer. Until he finds out that danger and betrayal can be found anywhere, and when the gods come hunting they won't stop until they find their target.

Saoirse and Smithy want nothing more than to resume the promise of their love and life before the battle in the Otherworld when Smithy was brought back to life. But it's just not that simple, especially for Smithy who comes to realise that his mind and his body aren't what they were and the effort to hide that from Saoirse and everyone else increasingly becomes impossible. Especially when they both get drawn into recovering one of the treasures of the gods and Balor ramps up his poisonous activities. Smithy soon realises he must choose between protecting his secret or protecting his friends and the woman he loves.

The second book of Rise of the Celtic Gods continues the music-filled romantic urban fantasy.
