Tain

ebook

In the north of Ireland stands a ring of stones carved with ogham symbols that only Druids knew how to read. It's to this enchanted place the ghost of a chariot driver brings a young man to give him the tales of heroes, fiends, and goddess long gone...by entering them through the magic of the stones. Here they will behold:

  • How two enchanted pig-keepers for the faery folk, the Sidhe, met their doom.
  • How pillow talk between King Ailell of Connacht and his insatiable Goddess-Queen led to a murderous rivalry.
  • How a boy-king, Conchovor, and his obsessive love for the girl known as Derdriu of the Sorrows.
  • And how Ulster's greatest champion, Cu Chulainn, battled alone against all the armies and enchantments of the treacherous Queen Maeve.

    For this is the greatest tale of ancient Ireland, the Tain bo Cuailnge—the cattle raid that changed the history of a land.
