The Shining Isle: Magical Realism

The island of Inishrún, small and forbidding, holds a deeply protected secret. It is home to the Sidhé, a magical race as old as the earth. This is their stronghold in a world that has forgotten them. Holly Tremenhere, sad and disillusioned with her life, travels across the wild sea to the island on the second-to-last ferry before winter closes the crossing. She is there to unravel the mystery of who she truly is and the only living person who can tell her is her beautiful, estranged aunt, Mim. What Holly does not know is that she is about to be thrust into the heart of a mystery, a time out of legend and an inheritance that will forever change her; one that culminates in a magical but deadly redemption.
