The warrior princesses, Brighid and Danu, leap over the vessels' sides into the cold waters and look north towards their ancestral homethe fort of Ráth Na Conall. The clash of weapons is not a good omen.
From his throne in Caher Conri, the depraved Uallachán rages at the sight of the red shield embellished with a swooping black raven and the memories it provokes. He swears vengeance on the daughters of his old adversary.
Draighean, a demi-goddess of the mystical Aes Sídhe, stands alone on the mountain peak. She bites full maroon lips, unhappy at her mission. Yet, does she have a choice? Evil must be confronted and defeated.
Uallachán's idea of peace is to crush all dissent, but is he no more than a puppet of the powerful kings of the Connachta?
