***Stoc nua ag teacht i lár 2024. Ag glacadh le réamhorduithe anois.***

Cuirtear saol Chonchúir Uí Bhraonáin bun os cionn go hiomlán nuair a thagann sé ar dhúnmharú scáfar ar mhullach uaigheanna Uí Néill agus Uí Dhónaill sa Róimh. Gan mhoill tá a bheatha féin i mbaol. Is léir áfach, nach Conchúr amháin atá i gcontúirt agus go bhfuil comhcheilg ar siúl a bhainfeadh an bonn de chumhacht an Phápa agus a chuirfeadh deireadh leis an Eaglais.

Má tá Conchúr le teacht slán, caithfidh sé aghaidh a thabhairt ar sheict dhorcha a bhfuil a fréamhacha aici sa luathChríostaíocht féin. Ach an í seo an fíornamhaid? Mura n-éiríonn leis an mhistéir a réiteach in am, fíorófar an tairngreacht uafásach a rinneadh míle go leith bliain ó shin; tairngreacht a d’athródh an saol go deo.

Bronnadh an chéad duais i gComórtais Liteartha an Oireachtais ar an úrscéal seo.

Rinneadh cur síos ar Phroinsias Mac a’ Bhaird mar ‘Dan Brown na Gaeilge’ nuair a foilsíodh Rún an Bhonnáin (LeabhairCOMHAR, 2010) agus is cinnte go bhfuil an bheocht, an mhistéir agus an phlotaireacht bhríomhar chéanna, a choinneodh i do shuí mall san oíche thú, san úrscéal nua seo uaidh. Tá cónaí ar an údar i dTír Chonaill, lena chúram agus lena mhadadh Pluto, áit a n-oibríonn sé mar mháistir scoile.

Conchúir Uí Bhraonáin's life is turned completely upside down when we stumbles across a dreadful murder at the graves of Ó Néill and Ó Dónaill in Rome. His own life is soon in danger. It becomes clear, however, that it's not just Conchúr's life that is under threat and that there is a conspiracy underway that will remove the Pope from power and put an end to the Church.

If Conchúr is to survive, he will have to face a dark sect that has roots in early-Christianity. But is this the real enemy? If he doesn't manage to solve the mystery in time, the terrible prophecy that was made one and a half thousand years will come true; a prophecy that would change the world forever.

This novel was awarded first prize in the Oireachtas Literary Competitions and also the Irish-language Book of the Year Award at the An Post Irish Book Awards in 2019.

Proinsias Mac a'Bhaird was described as 'the Irish Dan Brown' when Rún an Bhonnáin (LeabhairCOMHAR, 2010) was first published and the same vitality, mystery and lively plotting can be found in his new novel, which will keep you reading late into the night.
