The Kingdom’s Edge: The Mountains, The Monks and The Magic of the Ring of Kerry is an immersive exploration of Ireland’s southwest — a place where geography, history, and myth remain inseparable. Structured as a journey around the Ring of Kerry, the book moves through glacial valleys, monastic islands, coastal fortresses, and quiet inland waters, uncovering the deeper stories written into the land. Each chapter focuses on a defining site. Killarney’s lakes, Moll’s Gap, Derrynane, Valentia Island, Skellig Michael, Portmagee Harbour, and Lough Currane, revealing how natural forces and human faith shaped one of Europe’s most enduring cultural landscapes. Rather than offering a conventional travel guide, The Kingdom’s Edge blends historical insight, reflective prose, and visual storytelling to capture Kerry as it has been experienced for centuries: remote, resilient, and profoundly alive. Designed as a square-format coffee table book and illustrated with original black-and-white engravings, this volume is ideal for readers interested in Irish history, landscape, monastic heritage, and the quieter stories found at the edge of the Atlantic.
