Description
In 666, a remote valley holds secrets and ancient traditions. Fidelma, a devout Christian nun, arrives at the valley with her companion to find the bodies of 33 young men, ritually killed in a pattern that defies understanding. The local inhabitants still adhere to their Druidic ways, but are these murders the work of pagans or something more sinister? As Fidelma delves into the mystery, she uncovers a complex web of ritual and sacrifice that challenges her own faith and understanding of the world. This collection of Celtic mysteries is a gripping tale of murder, ritual, and the struggle between old traditions and new beliefs.
