The Saga of the Stolen One: Book Two - The End of the Beginning

History is not finished with us. Across centuries and continents, inexplicable deaths, forgotten rituals, and buried truths form a pattern no one was meant to see. From storm-lashed seas in the nineteenth century to modern cities shadowed by unsolved crimes, something ancient is stirring-patient, watchful, and unfinished. Tadgh has walked through empires rising and falling. King, witness, manipulator, and guardian, he moves unseen among mortals, bound by oaths older than nations and debts that refuse to remain buried. As past and present begin to collide, investigators, scholars, and reluctant allies are drawn into a web of folklore, bloodlines, and power that does not recognize the comfort of disbelief. Ghosts do not always rest. Gods do not always sleep. And history does not forget. Blending historical fiction, modern mystery, and dark myth, this novel explores what happens when ancient obligations resurface in a world that no longer remembers how to name them-and when the cost of balance may be higher than anyone is prepared to pay. Some stories were never meant to end..
