Description
In a world where the boundaries between myth and reality dissolve, and chaos battles order for dominance, a fractured band of mortals and gods navigate their entwined destinies. Niamh, a Gael warrior grappling with love and betrayal, Oisin, a haunted champion burdened with his father's legacy, Sullivan, a dreamer longing for belonging, and Antonius, a philosopher torn between ancient beliefs and a learned empire, find themselves drawn into the intricate and unpredictable web of chaos spun by the Morrigan. Across a backdrop of tumultuous battles and surreal landscapes-from the desolation of the bogs to the soaring heights of divine citadels-the companions must face cryptic deities, ancient curses, and the deceptive pull of fate. The Morrigan herself, both ally and antagonist, manipulates and guides them, forcing them to confront their deepest fears and desires. Meanwhile, forces of nature and progress collide: the gods of hearth and field wrestle with the encroaching mind of man and its unyielding march toward order. From the halls of the Dagda's feasts to the eerie silence of Crom's mounds, secrets unravel, identities are forged, and legends are rewritten. As myth and memory intertwine, Niamh, Oisin, and their companions discover that the stories they live are as malleable and transformative as the hands that tell them. But whose story will prevail, and at what cost? A tale steeped in Irish mythology and universal human questions. Lyrical prose, philosophical reflection, and mythological grandeur explore themes of identity, balance, and the eternal struggle between creation and destruction. A journey through the realms of gods, mortals, and the intricate stories that shape them.
