Legend tell us the Irish saint Brendan the Navigator was the first European to discover North America. We now learn he had a motive for doing so, to bring an unhatched egg to the farthest reaches of the earth where it would never be discovered - but it is discovered, and something terrible is born. In a small town in New England, a young woman named Raeven is forced through chance and prophecy to take on the role of dragon-slayer once reserved for the medieval knights of old. In doing so, she must first attempt to slay the internal dragons of fear and self-doubt that have so far kept her from becoming the person she was meant to be.

Translated from an early 15th-century Icelandic history text, €The Book of the Settlement of Iceland tells the story of Viking conquests in the exploration, founding and conquest of the island nation.

This is the first comprehensive authoritative survey of Arthurian literature and traditions in the Celtic languages of Welsh, Cornish, Breton, Irish and Scottish Gaelic. With contributions by leading and emerging specialists in the field, the volume traces the development of the legends that grew up around Arthur and have been constantly reworked and adapted from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century. It shows how the figure of Arthur evolved from the leader of a warband in early medieval north Britain to a king whose court becomes the starting-point for knightly adventures, and how characters and tales are reimagined, reshaped and reinterpreted according to local circumstances, traditions and preoccupations at different periods. From the celebrated early Welsh poetry and prose tales to less familiar modern Breton and Cornish fiction, from medieval Irish adaptations of the legend to the Gaelic ballads of Scotland, Arthur in the Celtic Languages provides an indispensable, up-to-date guide of a vast and complex body of Arthurian material, and to recent research and criticism.
