In the ancient Scottish Highlands, the land remembers what time has forgotten.

And something is stirring beyond the veil.

The unnatural winter has passed, and life has returned to the glens. But the peace is uneasy. Dark fae are emerging from the forests, moving with a purpose that troubles Drustan, the seasoned hunter who has spent years protecting his homeland and raising his two sons, Marek and Cael.

Marek is haunted by dreams of dark waters, an unfamiliar woman, and a mysterious presence drawing him northward. Cael, disciplined and guarded, conceals changes that even his father cannot fully understand. Meanwhile, Drustan carries secrets about his sons' origins and the dark powers that have shaped their family.

As the boundaries between the mortal world and the Faerieverse grow increasingly uncertain, the past begins to reach into the present. Old allegiances, ancient magic, and long-buried truths threaten the family Drustan has devoted his life to protecting.

Some secrets are kept out of love.

Others become the very danger they were meant to prevent.

Steeped in Scottish folklore, supernatural mystery, and the haunting beauty of the ancient Highlands, Brothers of Shadow and Ash is the third installment of Timothy Swiney's Tales from the Faerieverse, an epic fantasy series exploring family, inheritance, loyalty, and the cost of confronting darkness.
