    Sometime in the future a new intelligent life form, the Ungula, has evolved. They discover aliens buried in the Arctic who turn out to be Humans. After a miraculous revival following a visit to the Lours Shrine, the Ungula and Humans embark on an integration project. Barbara emerges as an Ungula spokesperson and Father Myles as the Human spokesperson.

    Can Humans and Ungula live in harmony? They live together in peace for several months, due mainly to the fact that the Ungula are a mild species and Humans are a small group of just over 100. Most of the humans are content to try and adapt. But as we all know well, there is always one.

    ARE YOU READY TO BRAVE THE DARK?

    After nearly eighteen months at Basgiath War College, Violet Sorrengail knows there’s no more time for lessons. No more time for uncertainty.

    Because the battle has truly begun, and with enemies closing in from outside their walls and within their ranks, it’s impossible to know who to trust.

    Now Violet must journey beyond the failing Aretian wards to seek allies from unfamiliar lands to stand with Navarre. The trip will test every bit of her wit, luck, and strength, but she will do anything to save what she loves – her dragons, her family, her home, and him.

    Even if it means keeping a secret so big, it could destroy everything.

    They need an army. They need power.

    They need magic. And they need the one thing only Violet can find – the truth.

    But a storm is coming… and not everyone can survive its wrath.

    ‘A wonderfully engaging, honest and witty portrait of the humiliations, idealism, nobility and banality of democratic life’ – Rory Stewart, author of Politics on the Edge’Wryly self-deprecating, but also informative and illuminating’ – Matt CooperAs Ireland’s Minister for Housing, Eoghan Murphy took on one of the toughest briefs in government, one that continues to be a challenge today. Looking back at his life in the build-up to parliamentary office and at his time in the cabinet, Eoghan brings a self-lacerating and deeply personal view of the life of a modern politician trying – and often failing – to make the positive change he hoped to deliver. Brutal and sometimes harrowing, Eoghan’s tale is also surprisingly funny, though the humour is only ever at the author’s expense.
