Ireland, 1011 AD. Brian Boru is now High King of Ireland. Gormflaith, his queen, instructs their young son in his heritage but only on his mother’s side. For Gormflaith is a Fomorian, a magically skilled immortal. She plots to finally defeat her hated foes, the Descendants, and establish control over Ireland. And if King Brian stands in her way, so much the worse for him. Fodla, a Descendant hiding in the mortal world, must protect her loved ones from their leader Tomas, who schemes to see the Descendants rule Ireland once more. And Fodla must tread carefully, for she has broken one of the sacred rules of her kind: she is in love with a mortal. As dark endeavours come to fruition, the only possible outcome is war. Ireland has bled red & often but the coming clash will be a battle for the ages. Strange alliances will form, old defences will fail, and the land will never be the same again.
