Most Ancient Song Is A Most Exciting Read!

This was a fast-paced exciting novel! I just couldn't put it down! The story is about the Nemedians (named for their leader Nemed) who have crossed vast seas in search of a new home. Finally, they find a beautiful green island and decide to settle in a gorgeous valley. They discover ready made huts built by the previous owners. Some of these owners are still there in the form of decaying corpses. However, they clean and repair the huts and settle in. However what they do not know, lurking in the hills, in a black fortress which overlooks the valley, are evil creatures called the Fomor. They're vicious, misshapen beings who guard the land for their dark masters using magical devices that can defeat whole armies. The Nemedians are not a warlike people but they soon learn to become adept at it. They have to defend their homes and their lives and they do it with the aid of strangers who've joined their village. Who are these strangers and why are they helping them? The characters of Dagda, the Morrigan, Lir (also known as Liam), and Nuada weave an exciting tapestry of events and adventures! Many of names are drawn from ancient Celtic myth. Read this novel, you will not be disappointed! Casey Flynn (Kenneth C. Flint) has outdone himself with this two book series. The second book is titled The Gods of Ireland, Book 2, and The Enchanted Isles which I'm devouring now. I too wish the author would write again and finish this series!
