Fianna by Susanne Carpenter
– the epic saga continues –
Fianna, the second instalment in the Tuath trilogy by Susanne Carpenter is to be launched at the end of August. It is a book that has all of the ingredients to thrill and enthrall both new and returning readers.
In the year 2027, with the world facing the rapid onset of volcanic winter, the Tuath Dé Danann must travel through time to halt the effects of the ash cloud strangling the planet. Their hopes rest on deploying the Claíomh Solais (sword of light), a powerful laser designed centuries into the future.
They are aided and abetted in their efforts by the McNamara family, with whom they have banded together under the newly re-constituted Na Fianna. The challenges that they face are significant however, especially when faced with opposition from the most powerful people on Earth (past, present and future) and the prospect of having to defend Ireland in the face of invasion.
This is the scene and the setting for the newly published Fianna by Susanne Carpenter, a fast-paced, action-based adventure novel that blends sci-fi, fantasy, intrigue, themes from Irish mythology, and so much more. It follows up exactly where her debut novel, Tuath, leaves off.
The book will be formally launched on Thursday, 28 August at Chapters Bookstore in Dublin. The evening gets underway from 7pm. Admission is free but advance registration is essential. Please visit Eventbrite for further information.
Fianna by Susanne Carpenter is published under the imprint of Aos Sí and available to buy online, in print and e-book editions, along with other books in the Tuath trilogy series.

Tuath, her first novel, was published in 2024 as part of an intended trilogy, with a third book to follow shortly. More on Tuath below!
Past, present and future must combine forces if they are to avert cataclysm and disaster that can only signal the demise of civilisation and of the human race.
Sci-fi, fantasy, action and adventure blend with themes taken from Irish mythology (stories of the Tuath Dé Danann, the Fir Bolg, the Book of Invasions) to produce an epic saga of unquantifiable proportions.
In a future world, many centuries from now, the last remaining inhabitants of Earth exist in a few isolated enclaves situated across northern Europe. They have managed to overcome much of the onslaught through a loose alliance, constituted in a Council of Europe. Friction and discord among them grow however, as resources dwindle and the struggle for survival intensifies.
Those who are astute enough, realise that they have one last throw of the dice. Their only hope is to travel back in time, to before the events triggered by volcanic eruptions in the year 2027. Their mission is to offset or mitigate the consequences for the future, by introducing technology that has been developed to an earlier time.
Along the way, they must also overcome fear, suspicion, jealousies, personal animosities, treachery, betrayal and mishaps.
