About this ebook

The fourth and final book of the Something Red series, Douglas Nicholas once again sweeps readers into the mystical world of battle as familiar favorites, such as the mystical Irish queen Maeve and her granddaughter Neiman, defend themselves against supernatural forces in thirteenth century England and Ireland.

Wrapping up the series Kirkus Reviews dubbed “a more profound Harry Potter for adults,” Three Queens in Erin continues the dark and suspenseful adventures of Hob, Jack, Maeve, and Neiman in this thrilling historical fantasy.

Thirteenth-century England and Ireland are vividly brought to life as dark magic and bloody battles test the strength of family love and loyalty, revealing the secrets behind Maeve and her families long exile from their tribal lands.

With Maeve finally returning to Ireland to fight the three queens of the Norse Gaels for her ancestral lands and the revelation of how Hob becomes the great warrior Robert the Englishman, readers are reminded that magic exists in the enchanting prose of Douglas Nicholas.

Ratings and reviews

After reading Something Red I was immediately a fan. I devoured the next 2 books in the series and have been waiting for this book and it's conclusion. It is a disappointing ending to a wonderful and up to now, captivating story. It is very obvious this last book has been rushed or very poorly edited. It reads like one of the old Readers Digest condensed books. It falls far, far short of doing the story or the author justice.
