Resurrection
A Beyond the Faerie Rath Novel
Hanna Park’s haunting fantasy novel Resurrection is about sacrifice, legacy, and the perilous seduction of power.
Expanding the Beyond the Faerie Rath series into deeper realms of myth and human consequence, the narrative moves between the mortal world and the treacherous domain of the Fae, where Calla must transform fear into strength as her connection to the realm intensifies. Colm, torn between devotion and self-preservation, risks being consumed by ancient forces as he ventures beyond familiar borders; Ciarán returns to reckon with freedom and the long shadows of his past. Their stories intertwine, and their choices echo with dangerous permanence.
The prose is sensuous and precise. Irish landscapes are rendered in terms of damp earth and restless skies; faerie courts shimmer with menace and allure. Lyrical cadences anchor myths in lived experiences, so that every encounter feels tangible and immediate.
The novel’s thematic thread is resurrection itself—in body, in memory, in the renewal of strength and love. Darkness presses hard, yet the story sustains a fragile equilibrium with hope. Love, here, is not soft but fierce, capable of both healing and destruction. Characters are tested in ways that reveal the depth of their vulnerabilities as much as their courage.
As a sequel, Resurrection widens the series’ scope without losing intimacy. Where The Scald Crow introduced Calla’s uncertain steps into faerie lore, this second volume raises the stakes, pushing each character to the limits of identity, loyalty, and belonging. The result is a continuation that feels both natural and startling in its turns. It’s an absorbing addition to the series, entwining myth, romance, and peril in immersive and resonant ways.
A sensual fantasy novel steeped in Irish mythology, Resurrection is about love and sacrifice.
