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 unfolds as Ronan Boyle, the youngest and most junior recruit of the secret Garda, embarks on a mission to rescue his captain. She has been dragged into Tir Na Nog by a harpy at the conclusion of the first book.

Despite not being the strongest, smartest, most good-looking, or dexterous, Ronan finds himself chosen for this perilous mission. Even he isn’t entirely sure why, but he might just be the captain’s only hope. His quest involves evading man-eating elves, escaping an unusual job in a unicorn's lounge act, and finding the captain before a spooky cult sacrifices her to resurrect their leader.

Along the way, Ronan must confront the most terrifying monster of all: impostor syndrome. Fast-paced, action-packed, and utterly hilarious, this second book in the New York Times bestselling series promises laughs and much, much more.
