Muse: Historical fantasy set in Celtic Britain
About this audiobook
A bard with an ability he doesn't understand. A wise woman with power she never wanted. Each has a quest and they'll need each other to succeed.
Diarmuid is not a typical bard. His tales aren't about hope and heroism, but instead they reflect the darkness he feels inside. When he inadvertently brings his imaginary muse to life, everything she knows comes from Diarmuid's melancholic tales. Desiring her own life, she leaves Diarmuid and sets out to live in the only way she knows how.
Brigit tries to be a good wise woman like her mother, but feels like she's wasting her life dispensing charms and cures. She spends her days longing for danger and adventure. When she encounters a fey and becomes the victim of a cruel curse, she gets more adventure than she ever wanted.
As the pair cross paths, they soon realise that the only way to succeed in their quests is to join forces. Together, they discover the true nature of Diarmuid's bond with his muse. While the world will never be safe with her loose in it, destroying her could have fatal consequences.
Muse is the first book in a series of historical fantasy novels set in Celtic Britain. For readers who like lush historical backdrops with a fairytale feeling, a fantasy quest and characters who fight their destiny.

About the author
Kylie Quillinan is an Australian author whose historical fantasy novels reimagine the lives of the remarkable women of Ancient Egypt.
Fascinated by the women history often overlooks, she writes stories about queens, princesses and priestesses who challenge the expectations of their time. Her historical fantasy novels combine extensive historical research bringing Egyptian mythology, palace intrigue, political rivalries, and just a touch of magic, vividly to life.
Whether exploring the rise of Hatshepsut, the twilight of the Amarna dynasty, or the lives of fictional women inspired by history, Kylie is drawn to women who reshape history rather than accept the roles society assigns them.
When she isn't writing, she's usually reading about Ancient Egypt, wondering why jellyfish are so fascinating, or trying to get fit before the zombies arrive.
