Ancient Celtic Myths are as Alive Today as Ever in The Obsidian Dagger by Brad A. LaMar

(Giveaway ends February 10)

The magical beings of ancient Celtic Myths haven’t disappeared––they’ve simply been in hiding, observing an age-old treaty. At least, that’s what author Brad A. LaMar leads readers to believe in The Obsidian Dagger, book one of the action-packed young adult fantasy series Celtic Mythos.

A centuries-old peace is broken when a mad witch with a magically crafted and frightfully powerful Obsidian Dagger breaks the treaty, threatening to obliterate humanity and overtake the magic clans of the Celtic Isles. Destiny forces 17- year-old American, Brendan O’Neal, and his younger sister, Lizzie, to intervene.

Joining the desperate princess of the Leprechauns, Dorian––who seems more London punk than royalty––and her two loyal companions, Rory and Biddy, they embark on a dangerous and wondrous adventure across Ireland and Scotland to thwart the witch and save mankind.

Little does Brendan know that stopping the witch is only the beginning. Battling the witch’s mutated forces of magical beings, the heroic band in The Obsidian Dagger will have to reach deeper into themselves than they ever thought possible to find the strength, courage, and will to see their quest through to the end. Brendan will soon learn that the lines between reality, mythology, and divinity are more blurred than he ever imagined.

The Obsidian Dagger is Mr. LaMar’s debut novel and has been met with great enthusiasm by test readers, reviewers, and booksellers alike. Light Messages Publishing is proud to announce the book will be released for sale February 20. The e-book version will premier at $7.99 with a special St. Patrick's Day promotion to follow.

A celebration of the book’s launch will be held at Indy Reads Books in Mr. LaMar’s hometown of Indianapolis, IN, on February 23 from 4:00pm-7:00pm.
