Description

In the thrilling conclusion to the acclaimed Storm Keeper's Island series, evil sorceress Morrigan rises, and Fionn and his friends must use their wits to save Arranmore Island's future.

“Fans of Harry Potter or Percy Jackson can add Fionn Boyle as a generous and brave hero from the Emerald Isle.” – School Library Connection on The Storm Keeper's Island

Fionn Boyle, Storm Keeper of Arranmore, is facing the fight of his life. The terrifying, all-powerful sorceress Morrigan has risen from the dead and has sealed off the island from all outside help.

Fionn is the only thing that stands between her and a dark future. He's got to find a way to defeat her. But there are some terrible choices in store as the dark sorcerer begins to take his nearest and dearest for her own. With only two magic candles left to burn, will Fionn master his powers in time to stop her? The race is on to save the island from the clutches of evil, before the tide turns on Arranmore for good.

Catherine Doyle brings the Storm Keeper's Island series to a thrilling close with another magical, heart-stopping tale.

About the Author

Catherine Doyle grew up beside the Atlantic Ocean in the west of Ireland. Her love of reading began with great Irish myths and legends, and fostered in her an ambition to one day write her own. She holds a first class BA in Psychology and a first class MA in Publishing from the National University of Ireland, Galway, and is the author of the YA Blood for Blood trilogy. The Storm Keeper's Island is her debut middle-grade novel and was inspired by her real-life ancestral home of Arranmore Island, where her grandparents grew up, and the adventures of her many seafaring ancestors. After living in Dublin City for two years, Catherine is now based in Galway but spends a lot of her time in London and the US.
