The Storm Keeper's Island

On an island off the coast of Ireland, a dark magic is waiting to resurface. Fionn's father grew up on the island, but he died when Fionn was just a child and Fionn's lived on the mainland ever since. When he and his sister are sent back to the island to live with their grandfather, they discover a hidden legacy of magic and a family feud that goes back generations. Fionn's grandfather is imbued with magical powers as the Storm Keeper and it's time for him to pass that mantle onto someone new. Not everyone is happy that Fionn is the heir apparent, and a dark magician that was banished centuries ago takes advantage of the upheaval to return.

This is a classic fantasy adventure where the young protagonist discovers a hidden world of magic and his own destiny to save it from evil forces. This is a promising start to the series with a beautiful Irish setting and a strong cast of characters. Perfect for young readers looking for a magical escape.
