The hilarious sequel to the instant New York Times bestseller, set in the world of law-breaking leprechauns, from actor and writer Thomas Lennon.

Ronan Boyle and the Swamp of Certain Death follows Ronan Boyle, who may be the youngest and lowliest recruit to the secret Garda, yet he is determined to save his captain from the harpy that dragged her into Tir Na Nog at the end of book one. He may not be the strongest, the smartest, the best looking, or the most dexterous... so why was he picked for this mission? He's not entirely sure.

However, he may be the captain's only hope if he can escape man-eating elves, manage a stint in a unicorn's lounge act, and find the captain before she's sacrificed to a spooky cult trying to resurrect its leader. Eventually, Ronan must confront the scariest monster of all: impostor syndrome.

Fast-paced, action-packed, and utterly hilarious, the second book in the New York Times bestselling series delivers laughs and much, much more.
