The Curse of Conchobar―A Prequel to the Adirondack Spirit Series
By David Fitz-Gerald
Banished by one tribe. Condemned by another. Will an outcast's supernatural strengths be enough to keep him alive?
549 AD. Raised by monks, Conchobar is committed to a life of obedience and peace. But when his fishing vessel is blown off-course, the young man's relief over surviving the sea's storms is swamped by the terrors of harsh new shores. And after capture by violent natives puts him at death's door, he's stunned when he develops strange telepathic abilities.
Learning his new family's language through the mind of his mentor, Conchobar soon falls for the war chief's ferocious daughter. But when she trains him to follow in her path as a fighter, he's horrified when his uncanny misfortune twists reality, causing more disastrous deaths and making him a pariah.
Can Conchobar defeat the darkness painting his steps with blood?

He was cursed, no matter how hard he wanted to deny it, the truth was still staring him in the face. He had been safe in the monastery, the monks strong enough to survive the abomination caused by his own father. If only he had not taken the fishing boat out when he did not have permission to do so. If only the storm had not blown up suddenly he would still be back in the monastery and the curse would be under control. If he had stayed in the monastery there wouldn't have been much of a story!!
I adored this book. Conchobar has been sheltered at Skellig Michael his entire life, so when he finds himself among a tribe in the middle of a war with the neighbouring tribe, he has to decide whether he is ready to fight alongside the tribe that saved his life, or whether he should refuse and hopefully spare some bloodshed.
The supernatural is woven into this story wonderfully. The author has clearly put a lot of time into creating this world and making it, not only believable but a world that I wanted to spend a lot more time in. The story gripped me from the opening sentence, it was so good that I found it incredibly difficult to put down.
I really enjoyed this book and I cannot wait to read more books from this very talented author.

David Fitz-Gerald
David Fitz-Gerald writes fiction that is grounded in history and soars with the spirits. Dave enjoys getting lost in the settings he imagines and spending time with the characters he creates. Writing historical fiction is like making paintings of the past. He loves to weave fact and fiction together, stirring in action, adventure, romance, and a heavy dose of the supernatural with the hope of transporting the reader to another time and place. He is an Adirondack 46-er, which means he has hiked all of the highest peaks in New York State, so it should not be surprising when Dave attempts to glorify hikers as swashbuckling superheroes in his writing.
