Spear of Lugh
Spear of Lugh: The Witch's Rebirth Part III
The darkness rises and Merona must call on the divine power of the Gods. For when this is over there will be no one standing!


She Knows What Armaeus Craves Most
Distance is a luxury on the battlefield, but for Merona, it is something sharper: a lens. Across the fractured expanse, she watches him. The daemon, Armaeus, stands amidst the wreckage of a sky that has forgotten how to hold stars. He does not rage; true power rarely needs to shout. But as Merona studies his silhouette against the burning horizon, the romanticized veil of mythology burns away. There is no tragic misunderstanding here. No hidden, misunderstood heart waiting fo

His Daughter Carries the Magic He Swore to Destroy
A distant golden-haired girl standing beneath one cold-blue star. The hunter positioning himself squarely between her and Merona. This striking visual is our first real glimpse of Elowen, the Witch Hunter's own daughter—and the deep, fracturing fault line running straight through his entire mission. "Elowen is not his betrayal," Merona says. "She is the truth he refuses to see." In the grand tapestry of the Spear of Lugh, this moment plants a quiet, devastating irony that pay

The Weapon Belongs to a God. The Choice Belongs to Her.
The Weapon Belongs to a God. The Choice Belongs to Her. Gold fire and dark water spiral around the shaft as Merona reaches toward it without quite touching it. This is no ordinary relic—it is a real, breathing artifact of Irish mythology, tied directly to Lugh, the ancient god of skill, light, and battle. Now, it sits quietly at the center of a deeply personal and high-stakes decision. "Power does not choose the worthy," Merona says. "It reveals them." With a single line, the

She Has Survived Every Century — Until This Hunt
"I have escaped kings, armies, and gods. Armaeus is dangerous because he believes he is all three." Picture a ruined battlefield. The air is thick with the ash of forgotten empires, and cutting straight through the wreckage is the unmistakable, ethereal gold light of the Spear of Lugh. Amidst the devastation walks Merona, a warrior taking in the quiet aftermath of yet another era she has somehow managed to outlive. For centuries, Merona has been a constant in a changing world

He Wants to Steal Her Immortality
The Architecture of Obsession: Meet Merona’s Deadliest Hunter in Spear of Lugh Drifting black dust, solar-gold spear light dividing them—Armaeus watches from a distance, and even at range, the threat in Spear of Lugh doesn’t read as random violence. It reads as appetite. In speculative fiction and epic fantasy, we are often oversaturated with villains who destroy for the sake of destruction, or conquer because the plot demands an antagonist. But the truly unforgettable charac

Shop at my store for all versions of books in The Witch's Rebirth Series (hint it won't be a trilogy soon). More on that later:).
