About this ebook
Drawn into its keeping, Aoife finds herself carrying more than her own voice. The braid at her throat tightens, the ledger hums in her chest, and the parish’s debts press against her skin. Each truth she speaks costs memory, each silence weighs heavier than the last. To endure, she must learn the rules her grandmother whispered: salt for the ford, iron for the sill, truth for the tithe.
But the ridge is not the only one counting. A shadow walks with the Crow, a Collector waits in Dublin, and hunger stretches its hand toward the parish. As Samhain nears, Aoife must decide how much of herself she can pay to keep the balance and whether one woman’s steadiness is enough when the land itself demands a keeper.
The Last of the Púca is a lyrical tale of folklore and endurance, where myth presses against modern law, and silence speaks louder than any bargain.

About the author
Michael Dunn is a tattooed, old-school goonie with a knack for turning chaos into stories that punch you in the gut and make you laugh while you’re bleeding. Raised on hard lessons and harder choices, he writes across genres with the same unflinching honesty he lives by. From teaching the digitally cursed to survive their computers (Help! My Computer Is Smarter Than Me) to dragging readers through the corporate purgatory of call centers (Tech-Support), Dunn never sugarcoats the struggle. His motivational book Don’t Fing Quit* is a battle cry for anyone on the edge of giving up, while The Silver Hand of Tara hurls readers into Celtic myth and demigod madness. And when he’s not wrecking your excuses, Old School Professionalism slices through workplace nonsense with the same fire. By day, he’s a global IT leader who’s run tech for governments, Fortune 500s, and hyperscale clouds. By night, he’s a husband, dad of five in Kenmare, Ireland, and a storyteller who bleeds truth into every line.
