From the author of The Celtic Heroic Tradition in Myth and Legend comes an epic heroic fantasy featuring the greatest heroes of Celtic myth.
Where gods walk among men and some men are the offspring of gods, honour is upheld by the blood oath...
A steppeland of warring tribes...
An age old terror that seeks to enslave them and desecrate their sacred dead...
An otherworldly champion, the Lynx, on the trail of this ancient enemy...
Can those who take the blood oath hold to it in the face of desperate odds, when the blood they have sworn on is also the blood that divides them?
When the sinister Fomorii emerge from howling darkness, bringing slavery and death, two tribal leaders swear on their spilled blood to protect the people. Supported by the mysterious hero Lú the Lynx and his companions the Dagda and the dread She Crow, they prepare to oppose the invaders, and the stage is set for a climactic battle with the forces of the Fomorian netherworld and the maleficent empire of the Serpent Born.
