About this series
Breanna Ban Morna manages to free her Chief but fails to slay her Norse father as they escape from Dun Garm. In a fierce battle with his Dreadriders, Ćroí Dàn claims Erin's Hero as she single-handedly defeats the Norsemen. Able to seek refuge at Dun Uisneach, the Aos Dána at the large Gaelic hillfort first notices that Breanna carries Lann Dàn across her back, and then the Heart of Destiny reveals herself.
With the full backing of the Druids and the Chief and Chieftess of the Dun, Erin's Hero leads her growing band of warriors to seek out Lia Dàn while evading the Dreadlord's pursuit. Yet, while they follow a path southeast to some ancient standing stones that will allow them passage to Falias, also known as Tír na nÓg, the magical realm of the Tuatha Dé Danann, they find themselves in a stand-off at a river crossing with the Dreadlord and his Norsemen once more.
Before any battle can take shape, ancient enemy demons emerge from the river. Breanna must use her magical ring to summon the Tuatha Gods to save them. Manannán Mac Lir answers the call this time, battling the foul Fomorians, ensuring her band can enter Falias without further interference.
With help from Dadga and having acquired the Stone of Destiny from Danu, Erin's Hero returns to her realm, where she must seek Erin's Altar to wield the magic of the Triple Dàns, an act that will remove her father and his ilk from her land. Breanna's Band must battle the Dreadlord and his Norsemen to give Erin's Hero the time to make such a feat possible—a feat that will warp the Emerald Isle's fabric of time and could claim Breanna's soul!

- Lann Dàn – Blades of Destiny: Dàn Cycle, #1
1
In the fifth century, the arrival of a brutal band of pre-Viking Norse raiders entwines the Mother Goddess of Celtic Ireland in a desperate bid to rid her island of the invaders turned settlers. Danu and her fellow Tuatha Gods draw Breanna Ban Morna, a Gaelic warrior with blood from both sides, into a quest to find Lann Dàn, one of three pieces of magic needed to remove the Norse Dreadlord and his ilk from their land. While meeting Danu in a secret grove, Croí Dàn, the Heart of Destiny, chooses Breanna as Erin's Hero. As the Mother Goddess sets the young warrior on a quest to find the Blades of Destiny, little does Breanna know the Dreadlord has invoked ancient enemies of the Tuatha. After an intervention by the Sun God Lugh, Erin's Hero pursues her goal of vanquishing the Norsemen. Yet, when the headstrong warrior chosen by the Tuatha Gods to save the Gaels of Erin learns her Chief is in danger, she decides he must be her priority and not another quest for magic laid upon her by Lugh. Will her decision doom them all to a destiny that leads to the Norse ruling the Gaels of Erin?
