Unseen

For fans of Vespertine and For the Throne, Unseen tells the story of a desperate young queen who travels to the kingdom of the dead to bargain with the lord of death himself, offering herself as his servant in exchange for her daughter's life, only to discover that he has far more sinister plans for her... Riona Ó Conchúir, the granddaughter of the last of the old gods of Éire, has known death her whole life. The mysterious lord of death has tormented her for years, stealing away the souls of all those she has loved since childhood, demanding that she come and serve him in his shadowy realm, but she has always resisted - until now. When her daughter falls ills with an uncurable disease, Riona at last answers his call and ventures into the hidden realm of the sídhe and offers herself as a servant to the will of the dread lord of death in exchange for her daughter's life. But when he demands that she use the divine magic of her blood to find for him three legendary objects of power that were once forged and wielded by the gods themselves, Riona knows that there is something far more ominous at play, and Riona soon realizes that she will be forced to make an impossible choice -her daughter's life, or the entire realm of Éire itself.
