Setanta and The Lady By The Water

Setanta and the Lady by the Water A mythic coming-of-age novella rooted in Irish folklore and shadowed grief. Setanta knows only this: his mother vanished, his father is a ghost of a man, and something ancient is following them. From haunted towns to forgotten hills, they chase the Lady by the Water, a banshee whose song marks the doomed. But when a cursed hound spares Setanta's life, everything he thought he knew begins to unravel.

Trained in silence. Forged by loss. Marked by a name older than Ireland.

As his scar deepens and the veil between worlds thins, Setanta discovers a truth stranger than any bedtime tale: he's not just a boy. He's a weapon. And the monsters remember his name.

Perfect for fans of Patrick Ness, Susan Cooper, or folkloric dark fantasy, this lyrical Irish novella blends myth, memory, and the weight of blood into a powerful modern legend.
