Life of a Welsh woman who is a story-teller in the tradition of the ancient Celts, who travels around Wales in the 16th Century, plus Ireland, and Scotland, saving the ancient Myths of the Celts. Avoiding death from an attacker who has been around for more than a thousand years, proves to be difficult and is compounded by Merlin's refusal to help. Ceridwen realises running away is no answer, but how to survive proves even more difficult. When her best friend knows her plan before she even does, she wonders who she can trust. The confrontation with the adversary is not guaranteed to be successful, but the real surprise is what is hidden in the sack?
