Description
Following the terror of the Apocalypse, life in the Irish community of Tugaim, is simple—but the people still fear the eerie Glowing Lands, remnants of a lost, long-ago world. Even more, they fear the dreadful Gealtacht asylum which houses the mutants the Apocalypse created. But Joanna Grady is happy, especially since she and Flynn have fallen in love. They dream of an even more remote time, recorded in secret books... An Ancient Ireland, a land of myth and magic, dark enchantments, and terrible foes... When Joanna's father tries to conjoin her to a repellant pig farmer, she flees to the Glowing Lands to escape, not realising the Lands contain a rip in the Time Curtain—that they are a portal to the Ireland of all the old stories—a gateway into the world of Cormac mac Airt, the Wolfking... Devastated by Joanna's loss, Flynn tries to channel the strange powers of the mutants and enter the Glowing Lands. But the shifting Time Curtain leads him not to Joanna, but to the glittering palace of Tara—to a Tara divided and at war, ruled by a usurper. While Flynn becomes helplessly caught up in the battles for Tara's crown, Joanna falls deeper under the Wolfking's enchantments...And the Wolfking will use any means he can to regain his throne...
