Oisin Ryan is on a school tour at a museum when he overhears three men planning a robbery set to take place at midnight. He tries to warn the museum’s security guard, but the guard doesn’t take him seriously, so Oisin decides to take things into his own hands.
Returning to the museum that night, Oisin is determined to foil the robbery, but things don’t exactly go according
to plan. When he is attacked with an axe, everything goes black and Oisin finds himself waking up in his own coffin.
However, he is soon rescued by his estranged uncle, Fionn Mac Cumhaill, and thrown into a magical world
of danger, as well as an incredible adventure – where he faces the sinister Fomorians – but will he survive?
Contrasting modern Dublin with ancient Irish mythology, Conor Forrest’s debut novel is a must-read! From the
outset Conor creates a world that sucks the reader in, enabling them to feel as though they are experiencing the adventure alongside Oisin. A fast-paced, magical page turner, this is a book that readers will find hard to put down. And here at TPP we hope that Heroes of Light and Shadow is the first of many adventures from the pen of Conor Forrest!
Heroes of Light and Shadow is published by O’Brien Press (2026)
