Return of the Arinn

London has fallen to the Tyrant and now war threatens both Earth and the magical land of Ti r. The fate of both worlds lies in the hands of five teenagers in this 'enthalling' epic (Los Angeles Times).

The Tyrant seeks to control the legendary Fail, the one artefact that will allow him to cement his power for ever. The only people with any chance to stop him destroying not just the sister worlds of Earth and Ti r but the in-between world of Dromenon as well are a handful of teenagers with supernatural powers.

Alan is leading his Shee army towards Ghork Mega, the Tyrant's capital city, but he's racked with doubt over his decisions. His girlfriend Kate, holder of the Second Power, is impulsive and stubborn - but she too is determined to stop this great evil. Mo is desperate to help, but she isn't sure she's brave enough to stand up to the villain. And on Earth, Mark, who wields the Third Power, is resourceful and fearless, but he's fighting Commander Seebox's Paramilitaries and Skulls.

Each of them has grown immeasurably since the day they fell through a mystical portal on Mount Slievenamon in Ireland into a magical world . . . but they are facing almost insurmountable challenges and an evil of unimaginable power.

“Ryan uses non-stop action and mature themes to draw us in. He doesn't stay in the magical world; he also takes a gritty look at what might happen if the darker powers of the magical setting were to invade our own world. He has a style that is easy to read and has created very interesting characters and races”

Riveting - Publishers Weekly on The Three Powers Quartet

Enthralling. Not many books have this cosmic ability - Los Angeles Times on The Three Powers Quartet

Excellent book - simply excellent. And an unexpected end to an amazing saga. So many twists and turns leading to an ultimate final confrontation between good and evil, an unexpected end for many beloved characters and a timely demise for those who brought darkness with them. An excellent conclusion to one of the most exciting and accurate sagas I have read in a very long time - Niamh Hunter on The Return Of The Arinn

It is the detail with which the author writes that is so immersive. There are moments of real fear in the book, when the characters seem to be in real danger. Strong . . . the next entry can't come soon enough - Starburst

The final chapter in the epic fantasy The Three Powers is set between three worlds; Earth, the magical land of Tir and the mysterious in-between world of Dromenon. Mesmerising in its complexity, Ryan cleverly weaves together strands of a story that begin with the Tyrant's war in a London devastated and chaotic - Believer on The Return Of The Arinn

Ryan uses non-stop action and mature themes to draw us in. He doesn't stay in the magical world; he also takes a gritty look at what might happen if the darker powers of the magical setting were to invade our own world. He has a style that is easy to read and has created very interesting characters and races - Fantasy Book Review on The Return Of The Arinn

The author has imagined a brooding sorcerous world filled with dark romantic landscapes and shivering cold, and haunted by dense blue-black shadows - Thomas Cotteril

The author's knack for description and character development kept my interest. The descriptions are rich and I was absorbed by the otherworldly descriptions of this book - so different and yet believable. I would love to see [this] in film
