Ireland: leading toward, and crossing over the new Millenium. Gillean Faraday is a successful international musician. His self-made stardom has afforded him every comfort of the material world. But also the self-destructiveness of an artist who has all but sacrificed his soul for fame. His marriage and family are disintegrating.
It is during this period of chaos that Gillean develops a relationship with a supernatural being called Sully, who has chosen to act as Gillean’s guardian – Gillean’s angel. Gillean and Sully are polar opposites who just happen to have the extraordinary connection of soul mates. The powerful connection between Gillean and Sully becomes complicated when other beings from the hidden world interfere.
Good and Evil collide in the tangible form of these characters’ strengths, weaknesses and complexities.
Blackthornes Of The Forgotten is a powerful story of love in its purest form, set in an Ireland that delicately superimposes modernity with the traditions of the paranormal past.

“This is an extraordinary book by a fine writer who takes us into the realms of reality and the supernatural, to relationships and enduring love. The complexities of the endless struggle between good and evil that exist not only in the Universe but inside each of us are shown against the backdrop of an Ireland both ancient and modern, a place where spirits whisper to those who listen.”
Chris de Burgh
Acclaimed British-Irish singer-songwriter and musician
“Rich, deeply felt, magical writing which almost hypnotizes with its power and seductive lyricism. Wonderful descriptive writing, sensitive to character and place, marvelous sense of landscape, yet also bold as it is nuanced. Extremely atmospheric and mood-laden sense of place, there is nevertheless a liveliness and energy to the narrative which is wholly engaging. Creative work of a high order.”

“Bree T Donovan has written an engaging novel that brings together a collection of characters one won’t soon forget. Some are mortal and some supernatural. All clash with one another. Some of these compelling beings act with good intentions, some with more nefarious. The author brings the reader into a chaotic, at times humorous, and haunting story told in lyrical prose. What remains at the heart of the story is a preordainedrelationship still fragile enough to be destroyed. What is one person willing to do to save another, and how will they live with the consequences of their choices? Blackthorns of the Forgottenis one hell of a ride through the misty mounts, ancient castles and pubs of Ireland, and beyond!”
