A family holiday in Dublin becomes a tour of the afterlife, a war with demons, and a crash course in how not to get eaten.
Thirteen-year-old twins Josie and Kevin have exactly one plan for Ireland: humor their parents, survive the tour buses, eat too much. That plan survives about four hours. A tower at Glendalough turns out to be a carbon-built gateway to Lárdam — and something very old on the other side has been waiting for them.
Book One of the trilogy is a thrill-paced YA adventure that respects its readers' intelligence: complex plot turns, a deep world with real myth under it, and jokes that don't talk down. It's scary in places. It pays off.
