The Lost Son

By Pádraig Ó Donnchú

Ethan Brennan has always been different. He sees mysterious Numbers above people's heads, struggles to fit in, and feels like an outsider in his own world. But when monstrous Fomori-ancient creatures drawn from Irish mythology-attack him, Ethan discovers he possesses powerful abilities tied to a hidden parallel world called ireann.

Rescued and recruited into a secret Resistance, Ethan enters a dangerous YA portal fantasy filled with magic, evolving monsters, and a growing rebellion. As the Fomori become stronger and more violent with every confrontation, Ethan must train fast, master his supernatural powers, and uncover the truth behind the visions only he can see.

This dark YA fantasy adventure blends coming-of-age themes, ancient myth, and high-stakes action as Ethan faces impossible choices that could determine the fate of both worlds. Because the Fomori aren't just invading-they're preparing for war.

Perfect for readers who love YA fantasy novels, Irish folklore-inspired worlds, monster-filled adventures, misfit heroes, and epic battles between realms, this thrilling series opener delivers suspense, heart, and mythic danger from the first page to the last.
