WildFire Saga: Book One

Whispers of the Wildwood

by Jess Bicknell

About The Book

Michaela O’Hare has always felt out of place. Her dreams are haunted by horned shadows, whispering forests, and golden-eyed beasts that seem to know her name. And when a letter arrives from a forgotten Irish law office naming her heir to a crumbling stone cottage in the mist-veiled village of Connemara, her world begins to unravel.
What Michaela doesn’t know is that the land she’s inherited lies on the very border of Siorradh, the Faerie Realm of Frost and Starlight. The ancient wildwood that cradles her new home hums with magic, secrets, and a power far older than she could imagine.
Here, she learns the truth of who she really is:
Eirawyn Skathrúnn, daughter of Elthwyn the Knotter of Fate and Morghael the Hollow King, an ancient tyrant bound in shadow. She was hidden in the human world to protect her from his reach… but her Fae blood is awakening, and so is the prophecy written in her bones.
Waiting for her all along is Rohan, the Horned God once known as Cernunnos, a protector, a warrior, and her destined bond. Their connection is a force of nature, forged through lifetimes of love and loss. But even their bond may not be enough to stop the Hollow King’s rising darkness.
As ancient forces stir and the veil between worlds thins, Michaela—Eriawyn—must decide whether to claim her power and reshape the threads of fate… or allow the world to fall into ash.
