The call for a new High King rings louder than ever!
The formidable Queen Medb once again rejects the King of Ulster as a possible future high king. To prevent Mac Nessa’s ascension to the throne, she embarks on a quest to shame the King of Ulster.
Standing in her way is the fearless Hound, a warrior renowned for his skill and a lack of mercy. As Medb’s forces attempt each fords, he successfully challenges her champions for the right to cross, giving the Red Branch time to muster. Ulster’s army gathers to defeat the Queen’s army on the hill at Gáirech.
Queen Medb’s plan has crumbled, and her defeated warriors are on a rampage through the Kingdoms searching for the riches they were promised. As the chaos unfolds, the druid Kathvar is murdered. The druid’s son, Genonn, is convinced that only two people can be responsible, but how to prove it? Without Conall, he stands little chance and so sets off through the Five Kingdoms in search of his oldest friend. The seeress Fedelm insists on helping him. Because of a barely suppressed love, Genonn cannot refuse her. However, the seeress is accompanied by the ever-present warrior Bradán, sparking Genonn’s jealousy, and the innocent youth, Lee Flaith, who needs to prove his heritage or face execution by the Elder Council.
