THE WINTER GODDESS

Earphones Award Winner

by | Read by Aoife McMahon, Aidan Kelly

Fantasy • 9 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2025

Aoife McMahon and Aidan Kelly manifest a pantheon of Irish gods in this enchanting story of family and loss. After killing dozens with a never-ending frost, Cailleach is forced to live multiple lives to learn the responsibility of godhood. Newly human and fragile, Cailleach forms unshakable bonds with a small dog, several lovers, and her daughter--only to lose them again and again. She opens her heart to humanity and uncovers a secret that threatens the sanctity of her godly family. McMahon's stunning narration reveals the fierce regality of the mother goddess Danu and the ever-growing maturity of Cailleach. Kelly's interludes weave a storyteller's perspective into Cailleach's journey. While the story centers the divine, it's really about human grief and the love that makes loss worth enduring. A.A.H.
