About this ebook

The eagerly-awaited sequel to Shadowmagic.

Having returned to the real world from Tir Na Nog at the end of the last book, our hero Conor finds himself arrested for the murder of his father.

When he explains to the cops that his dad is safe and well and enjoying life as king of a land of elves, imps and banshees they understandably think he is a nutcase.

That is until he is rescued by Celtic warriors on horseback and taken back to Tir Na Nog, accidentally bringing a policeman with him.

Once safely back in The Land, Conor finds that all is not well. His father is dying, the girl he loves is betrothed to another and a rather confused American cop is wandering around causing havoc.

It falls to our young hero, and his band of friends, to find a cure for the king. On their epic journey they encounter one of the most mystical and dangerous races in The Land, the shapeshifting Pooka, and find their fates linked in ways they could never have imagined.

The Prince of Hazel and Oak is a stunning fantasy adventure that takes fans of Shadowmagic further in to the land and brings back many of the favourite characters from the first book.

Ratings and reviews

What a refreshing read! Loved every digital page ;) great twists and turns and references to Conors real world modern life, brought the worlds closer to the reader.. funny, engaging un-putdownable :) congrats on a great read and thanks for re-kindling my love for reading.

This book is amazing, I strongly recommend it as a have already become fixated with the characters. I could not put this book down and I hope the whole series of shadowmagic are later made as films!

A truly thrilling read, even better than the first book. I have fallen in love with this magical world, the characters and their adventures.
