Bloomsbury presents Dreams of Chaos by Shauna Lawless, read by Eoghan Collins. A young Irish prince must forge his own path in a land of war and magic. Part of Shauna Lawless's critically acclaimed Gael Song fantasy series set in medieval Ireland. Murchad is born into one of the royal families of Munster. His uncle is king, and his father is the mighty warrior Brian Boru, who is often away fighting to keep their borders safe. When he is still a boy, Murchad's world is torn apart when Viking raiders assail his homeland. Having witnessed the carnage, Murchad grows up in a whirl of conflict, as thoughts of vengeance and rage mingle with his desire for peace. In an Ireland where strength of arms or weight of gold convey the ultimate power, can Murchad tread his own path, or will he be destroyed by the weight of expectations in a world caught between a legendary past and a dangerous future? Reviews for the Gael Song series 'Lawless blends fantasy with historical fiction to great effect' SFX 'Lawless's writing is absolutely luminous' Irish Independent 'Swept me along and refused to be put down' H.M. Long 'A Celtic Last Kingdom with wild magic and fierce heroines' Anna Smith Spark 'An excellent read' Mark Lawrence
