‘Playthings’
by
Lorelei Russell
The Celtic Gods of Ireland are not as they were of old. Some are small creatures, who have forgotten the power of desire, while others are… something else entirely.
When not inhabiting the inscrutable and perplexing otherworld of the Sid, they can be found anywhere from the primordial woods of Kerry, to the bawdy back-streets of 1990s Dublin. Known to few in the mortal realm, they are drawn to a mysterious child named Kathy Nolan, who knows nothing of her true nature, and struggles with growing up in rural isolation.
As Kathy reaches womanhood, embarking on new adventures, and facing the challenges of love, loss and betrayal, she becomes embroiled in a fearsome mythological drama that consumes her life.
Can she prevail in the deadly struggle thrust upon her, find happiness with a lover, and come to understand her developing powers, or is her fate to be terrifyingly different?
