The Silver Hand of Tara

When Finn inherits the ancient Silver Hand, he expects only a curse. Instead, he is bound to a land that remembers every oath, every betrayal, and every drop of blood spilled on its soil. The Hand carries the weight of Nuada’s fallen crown, a relic that saved kings but devoured them in the end. Now it has chosen Finn. Beside him stand Brigid, whose spear carries both faith and fury, Orla, whose Thornlight burns through silence, and Lughán, a trickster whose laughter sharpens when death is close. Together they must walk the ridges and tombs of Ireland where gods once bargained, and where monsters like the Púca still slip between shadows. But the Hand hungers. It judges. It whispers of sacrifice. Every battle demands more of Finn’s strength, and every choice risks turning him into the very echo of the king who lost himself to legend. To survive, Finn must learn what the land truly asks of him, and whether he can bear to answer. The Silver Hand of Tara is a tale of myth and blood, of ugly victories and fragile mercies. It is the story of a boy asked to stand where kings once fell, and to prove that the living are worth more than the legend.
