The Portal Thief

Book 1 of the Tir na nÓg Chronicles series.

Blurb:
One stormy night, as Angus, 12, wrestles with a recent trauma, he is unwittingly plunged into another world; a strange subterranean kingdom filled with odd mythical creatures. To find his way home he must form an unlikely alliance, and sacrifice the object he holds most dear. But everything is not as it seems in this magical underworld. Buried deep are secrets that will change the fates of both worlds forever.

The Wesht! ☘️A huge thanks to everyone who voted in my recent pole to choose the new title for my fantasy novel. The Clurichaun was a clear winner with 67% I was leaning toward The Clurichaun myself, so I'm happy with this result. Also, there is a book called The Portal Thieves which could be troublesome for the SEO. Cheers 😁 📖 ☘️ #Silverbranchpress #Silverbranchpublications #theclurichaun #theclurichaunbook Silverbranchpress.comThis is King Odo; tyrannical ruler of the underground kingdom of Baróg Doun. #bookillustration #theclurichaun https://silverbranchpress.com/ The website is now live!
