The Red Gate
A damp day on the wild Co. Mayo coast in late Summer, 1911. A bored Irish shepherd falls into a terrifying, pasture sink-hole. As his father finally pulls him to safety, he finds an ancient artifact has come up in his muddy sleeve. That artifact and subsequent discovery unleashes a growing threat and reveals an archaic promise that changes them and everything in their simple lives forever. What will become of their home and its hidden legacy? What will become of their sheep?
The Story Behind This Book
For some people, finding a course in life comes later than you might expect, or through pressures and changes you haven't planned for. The main character, Finn O'Deirg, finds himself oddly unsuited for the life he leads, and longs for more fulfillment. The traditional life isn't as comforting as he thought it would be. Be careful what you wish for, Finn. Sometimes the most obvious clues are right beneath your feet, the very last place you'd expect to find something important. Maybe even something that could change the world.
