Description

"No fantasy writer working today has a defter touch with Irish magic" (Morgan Llywelyn, author of Lion of Ireland). Set against the colorful and magical backdrop of Ireland, The Grey Horse chronicles a time when the Irish people suffered under harsh English overlords who sought to destroy their culture and way of life. In the Irish town of Carraroe, a magnificent, completely grey stallion appears. The horse brings with him the promise of better times and magical happenings, for he is actually the shape-shifted form of Ruairi MacEibhir, journeyed to such a time of danger in order to win the hand of the woman he loves.

A fabulous historical romance with a touch of magic. Ruairi the shapeshifter has come to claim a mate among the humans in the town of Carraroe. But, he's not after the twon's most beautiful girl - he wants her fiery sister!

I did read this book all the way through. A type of celtic/fairy book, but not a traditional fairy story. This one was about a dude who's a horse. I never really got into it. Nothing seemed to HAPPEN. I don't think I would necessarily recommend this book.
