About the book . . . The Druids are a mystery even today. Some say they were the only knowledgeable and holy people in existence three thousand years ago. Others say they were cryptic magicians who not only believed in reincarnation, but ate humans. The truth may exist somewhere in the middle of these extremes. We do know that they were known and revered among foreigners for a thousand years as an extremely advanced culture. This historical conundrum makes sense if you imagine that they had to keep their knowledge to themselves through their oral histories to stay safe from relentless aggressors. In this story, the Druid King, Devin Elean McKaeraer, chief of Fir Umaille, struggles to keep his forest people in the land of Erin protected and their precious knowledge from barbaric interlopers.
