In Return of the Golden Age, Wiley O’Mara travels with six boys from the magnificent ancient city submerged beneath the ocean to his own impoverished island. The boys, having been protected for thousands of years by a magical air bubble, must now adjust to life in a poor village at the turn of the nineteenth century. It’s up to Wiley to help them survive. He must also help his fellow villagers understand their heritage: that they are descendants of a rich and powerful people. This book is filled with magical beings and places, including golden rings and a mysterious cave.

​
RETURN OF THE GOLDEN AGE sums up the previous two books perfectly. The writing is paced well, and the characters are appealing.

Return of the Golden Age is filled with magical beings & places (& any resemblance to the fabled green Isle of Erin is just a figment of your imaginings), including golden rings & a mysterious cave.

I truly enjoyed Marilyn Peake’s Return of the Golden Age. This final book of The Fisherman’s Son trilogy is more than engaging. Its realism and surrealism elements are genuine and breathtaking. Under the sea has been transformed into a magical place, thanks to the author’s impressive story-telling skills ... I’ve become a great fan of author Marilyn Peake and her books. Perhaps someday there will be “The Fisherman’s Son” trilogy movie, just like “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy.
