Catherine Doyle brilliantly weaves together magic and mythology and friendship and weather in a story that blows the reader along with the Storm Keepers themselves. Can Fionn Boyle keep Arranmore safe from the Morrigan and her brothers? Will the magic in the last candle be enough? Catherine Doyle is a gifted story teller.
While she conjures up enough terrifying dark moments as the battle against the forces of darkness rage to give a real sense of fear she is also warm hearted and has the lightest of touches. The result is the creation of a magical world that will captivate readers.
Ten days have passed since Fionn faced Morrigan on the shores of Arranmore and said goodbye to his grandfather for good. Now Morrigan’s brothers stalk the land in search of new souls, whilst the Merrows struggle to keep the growing forces of Black Point Rock at bay…
Read the full description
The terrifying all-powerful sorceress Morrigan has been raised from the dead and has sealed off the island from all help. Fionn is the only thing that stands between her and a dark future. He's got to find a way to defeat her. But there are some terrible choices in store for Fionn as the dark sorcerer begins to take his nearest and dearest for her own.
With only two candles left to burn, will Fionn master his powers in time to stop her?
Inspired by her real-life ancestral home of Arranmore Island, where her grandparents grew up, and the adventures of her many sea-faring ancestors, Cat Doyle effortlessly weaves the Irish myths and legends of her childhood into a fresh, modern day setting. The Storm Keepers’ Battle is the final instalment in the trilogy which began with The Storm Keeper’s Island and its sequel The Lost Tide Warriors and this epic final book is packed with all the adventure, atmosphere and heart that has made the series so beloved.
“I read The Storm Keepers’ Battle with tears in my eyes and my heart beating a little faster than usual, rooting for these characters I’ve come to care about so deeply. It is an absolute triumph - it’s exciting, vivid, and gripping while still retaining all of Catherine Doyle’s trademark humour and heart. What a fitting end to an incredible trilogy!” Louise O’Neill, author of The Surface Breaks
“A truly epic finale to one of the best trilogies of recent years, Doyle has once again suffused this telling with her trademark humour and magic. I read Fionn's tale with my heart in my mouth.” Kiran Millwood-Hargrave, author of A Secret of Birds and Bone
“WHAT an ending to an amazing trilogy - the stakes just build and build. Irish folk mythology, heartfelt magic and suuuch good jokes - if you like your action-adventure bursting at the seams with imagination and heartfelt humour, you couldn't do better” Ross Montgomery, author of The Midnight Guardians

Magical in every way - Eoin Colfer
Praise for The Lost Tide Warriors;
Doyle's talent for creating windswept, stormy tension and physical threat sweeps all before it. This is one for a seaside holiday, whatever the weather - Daily Mail
