The historical details are well-researched and the mood of the novels reflect the superstitions and hardships of the time. The characters are engaging and believable, and Ms McGrath really makes the reader care for them. These stories will stay with me for a while.

"He came in a long prowed boat, sea mist trailing after him like a swirling cloak." This, the first sentence of Michele McGrath's Manannan's Magic, told me that I was going to read something just a cut above the average. The Manannan Trilogy is a series of three historical romances set in the Isle of Man at the time of the Viking settlement and incursions.

These three novels follow the fortunes of a family, Manannan, his daughter, Niamh, and his granddaughter, Emer. All three possess the ability to see into the future, which leads them into strange adventures.
