Description
What if you could read any book in the world... even the ones that haven't been written yet?
What is Rian's fate? Despite the druids' prediction that Rian would become a great warrior, he hates the king's training program. After the first year's Trials, humiliated and angry, Rian flees the other squires to hide in the cellars... where he finds a magical library and a wren-like Fae who explains that he can choose his own fate. Each year, one figurine crumbles and one possible fate disappears because of the choices he's made. He should be able to make the Warrior disappear before he turns eighteen, right?
Meanwhile, Rian helps two very different princesses -- one bent on becoming a warrior to seek revenge, and the other imprisoned by blindness. His magical library reaches through time to provide books that match his changing questions. But Rian's own fate becomes entangled with his friendships, while his figurines vanish one by one.
As the years go by, does he have any choice left about his own future -- and what will the library answer?
Read now, to journey back to 3rd-century Ireland with a reluctant young hero!
With characters based on Irish mythology, this historical fantasy has plenty of action but no gore.
This takes place in the same world as the other "Castle in Kilkenny" books, but is the earliest book featuring these characters, so is a true stand-alone.
