Long Ago In Ancient Ireland: The Children of Lir by Brian Bullman

The Children of Lir Long Ago in Ancient Ireland: Book One Long ago in ancient Ireland, before church bells rang across the countryside and before stories were written in books, the land itself remembered everything. King Lir’s house is filled with warmth, laughter, and the unbreakable bond between four children: Fionnula, Conn, Fiachra, and Aodh. Raised on stories of courage, loyalty, sacrifice, and endurance, they learn that strength is not cruelty, and love is not weakness. But after the death of their mother, grief enters the house of Lir, and with it comes Aoife, a queen whose jealousy grows darker with every passing season. When betrayal strikes beside the waters of Lough Derravaragh, the children are cursed and transformed into swans, condemned to spend nine hundred years upon the lakes, seas, and shores of Ireland. Through storm, sorrow, and centuries of change, the Children of Lir must endure together as the world they once knew disappears around them. Read more
