Beschreibung

The Voyage of Bran is an exquisite example of early medieval Irish literature, blending myth, adventure, and the supernatural within a poetic narrative. The text recounts the journey of Bran mac Febail, who embarks on a seafaring quest after being lured by the enchanting call of a mysterious Otherworld. Rich in vivid imagery and intricate symbolism, this tale reflects the cultural milieu of early Ireland, where oral tradition flourished, and notions of heroism, the afterlife, and the natural versus the supernatural were interwoven. The lyrical style and dreamlike structure invite readers to explore themes of identity, destiny, and the transcendent qualities of nature, culminating in an exploration of deeper philosophical inquiries about existence and belonging. While the author of The Voyage of Bran remains anonymous, the work is set against the backdrop of a society steeped in tradition and myth-making. Emerging from the early Irish literary canon, this text reflects the beliefs and aspirations of its time, illustrating the significance of the sea as both a literal and metaphorical boundary between the familiar and the unknown. It serves as a portal to understanding ancient Celtic spirituality and the human quest for meaning beyond the mundane. This remarkable tale is a must-read for anyone interested in mythology, early literature, and Irish culture. It invites readers to journey alongside Bran, immersing them in rich landscapes and otherworldly realms. The Voyage of Bran offers a compelling reflection on the human condition, making it an indispensable addition to the libraries of scholars and casual readers alike.

    Summer is a time of plenty, a time of excess. As the God of Summer, Cosmo has those in spades: Plenty of fear and an excess of guilt.  
    Abandoned by a cruel and absent father, judged and despised by his siblings, Cosmo has actually felt safer in the cursed centuries since his brother’s tragic death, telling himself he’s happy without his family, mingling with the mortals in his care and enjoying all the joys of summertime. He performs his duties to shepherd the season, drinks and smokes and warms his bed with anyone willing. 
    This time though, when he wakes, he comes face to face with his past. Literally. His brother is there. Auro, God of Spring, who he hasn’t seen in four hundred years. And he’s obviously lost his mind. He’s telling Cosmo there’s a way to break their curse, to be free of it—for the four of them to be together again. Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. But there’s an icy cold shadow looming over Cosmo, and the curse is the only thing protecting him. 
    DAUNTLESS SUMMER is the steamy, sweaty, slow-burn second book in the Harmony of Seasons queer sword-and-sandal fantasy romance quartet.
