"Atmospheric and beguiling ... Comeau uses the Irish setting ... and tales of the Otherworld and Tuatha dé Danann to craft an ethereal, fablelike narrative. Morrigan, ... friends, family, and fellow villagers, come alive ... fitting perfectly into the picturesque village ... Morrigan's frustration with the imposed limits on her gender adds a fascinating dimension to the spooky tale.."—Kirkus Reviews
"Tears, sighs, fabulous!"

In the wild heart of 1820s Ireland, young Morrigan Lane hears the sea's call—and her ancestors' ancient voices. Born with a connection to the mystical lands of her Celtic heritage, Morrigan is no ordinary girl. She dreams of adventure, breaking free from the restrictions of village life, and, above all, sailing beyond the distant horizon.
But Morrigan finds herself pulled into a mysterious journey when a haunting vision of the Irish sea god, Manannán mac Lir, beckons her into his shadowy world. Against the backdrop of Ireland's rugged cliffs and ancient stone circles, she must navigate myth and reality, confronting age-old traditions, family secrets, and the fierce expectations placed upon her as a young woman.
A Moon in All Things is a spellbinding tale of Celtic mysticism, forbidden dreams, and the resilience of the human spirit. Fans of historical fantasy and coming-of-age adventures will be swept away by Morrigan's quest for self-discovery in a world where land and sea, myth and truth, are deeply intertwined.
Perfect for readers enchanted by Irish folklore, women's journeys, and stories that echo the timeless call of nature, A Moon in All Things reminds us that the true magic of life is waiting if we dare to reach for it.
Fans of Outlander's Claire Fraser and The Frozen River's Martha Ballard will love Comeau's Morrigan Lane, who is fiercely devoted to discovering her healing gifts while those in power call them "dangerous."
