Description

When Ireland’s sacred Stone of Destiny vanishes from Tara, High Priestess Neassa discovers a spiritual plague spreading across the island, one that promises peace through surrender of individual will and relief from the burden of consciousness itself.

As druids speak in coordinated whispers and sacred sites fall silent, Neassa must forge unlikely alliances with reluctant king Cathair, the transformed guardian Ríona, and exiled British queen Boudicca to resist an enemy more seductive than any army.

Their foes offer what people genuinely want: guidance that eliminates uncertainty and solutions that replace the chaos of being human with perfect efficiency. As Ireland divides between those who choose consciousness and those who choose obedience, the battle begins for the right to remain themselves.

Set in Iron Age Ireland, where Celtic mythology collides with political reality, Broken Rites explores the price of preserving identity when identity itself is under assault.

Some choices are worth making regardless of their cost.
