The Shepherd and The Fairy Mound

The Shepherd and the Fairy Mound by Mark E Benecke On the Irish moors, young shepherd Liam O'Brien spends his days tending sheep among the rolling hills and ancient stone walls of the countryside. His life is quiet and predictable until a chance discovery near an old fairy mound introduces him to a hidden world beneath the earth. There he meets Aisling, a young woman of the ancient folk who have lived in secret for generations. As the seasons pass a gentle friendship grows between them through shared conversations, simple acts of kindness, and afternoons spent beneath the wide Irish sky. As the seasons pass something grows between them that neither of them planned for. Set among the beauty and mystery of old Ireland, The Shepherd and the Fairy Mound is a warm and enchanting folktale about wonder, belonging, and two young people from very different worlds who find their way to each other.
