A Curse Of Magick
by Diane Gallagher
Genre: YA Romance
Synopsis
“A desperate princess, a handsome warrior, and an ancient magick to determine their fate.”
As daughter to the High King, love doesn’t come easily to Gráinne. Having turned down hundreds of suitors, she is being forced to marry Finn, an old, ugly yet powerful general. While outside the marriage hall, Gráinne bumps into Diarmuid, Finn’s handsome foster son. From that moment, Gráinne knows if she is to have any chance at love, he is the one she must marry. She begs him to take her away from this unwanted wedding. When Diarmuid refuses, Gráinne, desperate, places a curse on him; help her or die.
Diarmuid is a warrior who only wants to serve loyally, but when the princess sets her sights on him and casts her curse, he must make the most difficult choice of his life. Does he help her, taking their chances with a vengeful Finn, or does her refuse her, leaving her to her fate, and risking his own death?
With both their lives on the line, Gráinne and Diarmuid must fight to use Ireland’s ancient magick to escape from Finn, either bringing them together in passion or in death.
A Curse of Magick is a passionate tale of love, betrayal, revenge, and redemption. A retelling of an ancient Irish myth, A Curse of Magick takes the love and romance of Romeo and Juliet, and the exhilaration of King Arthur, and mixes it together for a satisfying adventure all will love.
Enjoy this peek inside:
“Look, up ahead. It’s the River Shannon.” Sure enough, Gráinne had caught a glimpse of the river sparkling in the distance.
“Then, come on,” Diarmuid shouted as he galloped past her.
Without need of encouragement, Fáelán took off at a gallop close behind Diarmuid.
“Come on, Fáelán, don’t let him beat us,” Gráinne shouted. She felt Fáelán respond beneath her, and they rode as one, hoofbeats hot on the trail of Diarmuid. With each drum of the horse’s hooves on the hardpacked road, Fáelán drew closer and closer until they were even. From the corner of her eye, she saw Diarmuid glance over at her, a grin on his handsome face and one hand holding his cap tight on his head.
“Hyaa!” he shouted, urging his own horse on.
Gráinne grinned. She knew Fáelán was a match for any other beast. As if he knew her thoughts, Fáelán leapt forward in a new burst of energy at Diarmuid’s shout, and pulled ahead, leaving Diarmuid and his horse behind. They rounded a bend and came to a skidding stop right at the edge of the river, with Diarmuid close behind.
Gráinne slid from Fáelán’s back, both of them panting hard. Diarmuid jumped from his horse and landed hard on the grassy bank. He stumbled towards Gráinne, catching his footing just before knocking into her. She watched him struggle to his feet and face her, a breathless grin stretched across his face. She grinned back and they stood, face to face for a few moments, gulping at the cool morning air.

Thank you Marcy. I hope you find it so. It really was a work of love.
I love the sound of this, romance and revenge, what a great combo😁
Hi Tammy. I know! Romance and revenge make a great combination and not just for reading. It makes writing a novel so much more intriguing when your characters tell you where the story is going to go, lol.
Sounds like a good read.
Hi Rita. Thank you. I did my best to make it as captivating as possible. I hope you enjoy it.

sherry @ fundinmental
I’m with you about the fantasy. I love reading it too. I hope you get a chance to read my book. I’d love to hear what you think of it.
Hi Sherry, I just checked out Fundinmental. What a great site! And I completely agree with what you said, “writing without imagination is not nearly as fun as writing with it”. So true!
This looks like a good read.
This sounds like an interesting book and I also like the cover.
Hi Ann. I really worked hard to make this book appealing. I hope you get a chance to read it. I love the cover as well. I found a wonderful graphic artist – she’s a treasure – and she will do all the covers in this series for me. Next book will be about the Welsh goddess Rhiannon and after that I will write about Boudica, the female warrior who almost drove the Romans out of Britain.
I liked the excerpt. Thank you for the giveaway!
Thanks dglitter1922! I struggled with picking out the right part of the book for the excerpt so I’m glad you enjoyed it. Good luck with the giveaway!
Hope it does awesome!
Hi sportsrockman. Thank you, I’m hoping the same.
I would love to read your book.
Hi Bridgett. Thanks for your kind words. I do hope you get a chance to read it. It was a work of love on my part and the Celtic myths are so rich and don’t get the attention they deserve.
looks like a fun one
Have a wonderful new year!
