“The ghostly pale light of the incandescent moon lit up the dark fields. Reflecting the ominous hills in the mirror-like puddles spotted around the Orchard, shinning liquid silver in the still water. The McNeeve mansion towered above the surrounding structures sitting in the heart of the plot. The mansion had a fickle candle burning in the downstairs window, not enough to blind the interminable black, but enough to light up the kitchen table so the McNeeves could enjoy their dinner. Completely oblivious to the ancient creature that loomed outside, crouching in the shadow of the woods behind the house. Its poignant yellow eyes blatantly tearing the silent night. It would have its fun, but at that moment, it just stayed reticent. The family were already having their own trouble, so it would wait patiently for its turn. The darkness slowly devoured the gold-plated lettering on the stone archway on the edge of the land.”
Join Joe McNeeve – a sixteen-year-old boy as he is forced into a war with an ancient malevolent creature – thought to be a myth.
A myth that is not only very real but very dangerous. The banshee is a subspecies of the fairies created by the fairies as a sign of reverence and thanks to the Irish people, but sometimes this usually benevolent spirit gets angry and hungry for the power its creators have.
Joe must band together with the fairies and friends to compete in a war with a mythological being, a war which drags on for over 30 years, destroying Joe’s family and his life. Can Joe overcome his cowardice to become the brave warrior everyone thinks he is?
Despite a fight with a powerful fairy, no one believes him about. Joe is still a kid, he needs to live, to love, and with a fairy ritual that banishes the banshee, he manages to live in “peace” for a time.
38 years after the banshee was banished, she returns even angrier and more dangerous. An older, battle-wounded Joe, with help from new friends and fairies alike, are forced to fight again. An author named Mark who has an unknown power is drawn to the orchard unbeknownst to himself to help Joe finally destroy the banshee.
