Theophilus Monroe

Rise of the Morrigan Theophilus Monroe

Not even the god who made her could tame her.


When the Dagda took three girls and combined them into a single goddess--that he might have for himself a divine wife--he thought she'd be an obedient sub-deity and an extension of his rule. But the Morrigan is subservient to no man, no matter how powerful a god he fashions himself to be.


If she is to rule, however, she must do more than defy the god who made her.


She must win the heart of a mortal...


Cú Chulainn didn't want to be a warrior.


He dreamed of becoming a bard, a poet...

But when he discovers he has the ríastrad, that he transforms into a werewolf when enraged, he finds he has little choice but to serve the whims of his king and defend Ulster.


But can the beast be controlled?


A faerie touched his heart... it calmed his rage... and he longs for her still...


But there's another who pursues him, who hopes to win his heart... a goddess...


Will the Morrigan win the heart of her beloved? Will Cú Chulainn find peace, or will he be destined to a life of battle?
