A barely remembered childhood. A search for a mystical treasure. Can a gentle man fill in his past and be reunited with his birthright? Ireland, 500. Fingin lives from hand to mouth. And though his mind is as clear as any, the shy fisherman avoids others for fear his terrible stutter will make him look mad. But the day he rescues a dog from drowning, his special ability to speak to animals leads to an unbreakable bond. After superstitious neighbors accuse him of witchcraft, he and his four-legged ally hit the road and along the way help an old crone in dire straits. But when she repays his kindness by setting him on a quest to find his missing magical brooch and his long-lost grandmother, he ventures into the perilous land of Fae. Can Fingin survive brutal thugs, treacherous crossings, and faery magic to fulfill his destiny? Age of Secrets is the poignant eighth volume in the Druid's Brooch historical fantasy series. If you like misunderstood heroes, wonderous animal companions, and the uncanniness of Irish mythology, then you'll love Christy Nicholas's moving adventure.
