Celtic Otherworld XIII
Marion is concerned about the Detective agency that has opened across the street. Neamhain wasn't always the third member of the Morrígna. Originally the leader was Anand, not Badb. In this case it's not "mór" meaning big, greater or older, but an obsolete Gaelic prefix "mor" meaning terror, so Morrígna means Terror Queens. Morrígan is the singular Terror Queen.
About 77,850 words.
The cover is based on The Valkyries Vigil by Edward Robert Hughes. The helmet has been edited to be a sleeping Hoodie Crow.
Anand is also variously called Anu, Nainsí or the Morrígan in old manuscripts. The Morrígna are listed as Anand, Badb and Macha or Badb, Macha and Neamhain in manuscripts. Anand (Nainsí/Anu) is also described as taking the form of a grey crow. The Hoodie Crow (grey and black) is similar to the all black Carrion Crow, The ranges in the British Isles or Europe hardly overlap. Macha of the horses is a different character.
The Welsh prefix as in Morwenna or Morgan is to do with the sea, its not related to the Irish prefixes.

Conspiracies and Rooks is the first in the Marion and the Rooks sub-series. Though the characters age & develop, and the Otherworld where the Tuath Dé live is advancing rapidly, each novel is a complete story. The events in this follow directly after Goths and Rooks. Tom Óg and the Firebirds will be released soon.
