After St. Patrick drove the Father of Lies and the snakes from the surface of Ireland in 437 A.D., dragons, witches, ghosts, fairies, leprechauns, giants, druids, demons, and other beings from the dark side no longer roamed as freely in Ireland as they once did. Their decline has reached such a point through the years that today almost no one recognizes the few that are left among us. But the Father of Lies has a plan to change that, and his plan depends on his capture of Kevin Murphy’s soul. He will stop at nothing to accomplish this so he can again roam freely in Ireland.
Sixteen-year-old Kevin lives with his family in Estes Park, Colorado. When his family visits Ireland to explore his father’s family history, Kevin thinks the trip will be a lot of sightseeing. Little does he know that his normal life will suddenly be turned topsy-turvy when he meets a real live leprechaun and discovers that fairies, ghosts and demons aren’t just myths. They’re real, and they’re joined in this exciting story by other fascinating characters and creatures including the terrifying ruler of the Shadow World, the Father of Lies – who is determined to steal Kevin’s soul.
