Irish author Clíodhna O’Sullivan shared some exciting news. Her debut novel, Her Hidden Fire, is in talks to be adapted for television.
From actors to musicians to authors, we are really spoiled with the art coming out of our small island. Her debut novel, Her Hidden Fire, is in talks to be adapted for television.
Deadline reports that Irish production company Great Island has optioned the book that hit shelves earlier this year. The novel was an instant bestseller in Ireland, the UK and the US. Her Hidden Fire was named an Amazon Editors’ Best Book of 2026 and was selected as a Good Morning America literary pick.
“Given my day job is literally keeping clients’ secrets, you’d think I’d be good at it by now. But no, I was like the small child who has to clap her hands over her mouth to stop myself telling literally everyone ”She continued: “I’m so grateful for Great Island’s faith in this story and cannot wait to see all they do to bring it to life on the screen.
” The second instalment will be published in November 2026, with the third book coming out in July 2027. The TV show will be a Young Adult series, with plans for a three-season show with eight episodes per season. The book follows Éadha, a servant girl, in a world where dragons stalk the skies and magical abilities are an elite privilege.
The ruling family of Ailm’s Keep is on a knife-edge: can Ionain, the heir apparent, channel magic, or will the family be cast out and replaced by a cruel master from a neighbouring land? So when Éadha, a servant girl who loves Ionain, discovers that she can draw power, she finds herself in grave danger. It’s extremely rare for a girl to have this talent, and certainly never outside the great families.
At Ionain’s moment of truth, Éadha makes a desperate gamble to save him, Ailm’s Keep, and ultimately herself. As Éadha and Ionain enter a whirlwind of patriarchy, class, heartache and jealousy, they learn about power’s terrible cost – a price others willingly pay to maintain theirs.
