Review
"[Michael Scott is] the King of fantasy“ Irish Times ”The things that make these books thrilling are constant - Michael Scott's intricate grasp of mythology and history, the action-packed plotlines, and his larger-than-life characters. There's enough fantasy, myth, wizardry and adventure to engage young and adult readers alike" — Teresa Difalco parents-choice.org

An authority on mythology and folklore, Michael Scott is one of Ireland's most successful authors. A master of fantasy, science fiction, horror, and folklore, he has been hailed by the Irish Times as “the King of Fantasy in these isles”.
