CHALLENGE OF THE CLANS - The Early Legend of Finn MacCumhal!

This is the first of a trilogy about Finn MacCumhal (pronounced Mac-Koo-al). It's the tale of his birth to young man and his hard won rise to become the well-known Irish legend. The story opens with his father Cumhal MacTredhorn, the proud chieftain of the High King's Fianna warriors. The High King Conn, after an imagined slight by Cumhal, conspires with his evil Druid Tagd to bring about his death. This accomplished, his young widow, Muirne has just given birth to Finn and frantically secures his safety by sending him away with her women, Bodhmall and Liath. They raise him in seclusion and safety but with the knowledge of his heritage and the training to once again restore honor to their clan, the Clan Baiscne. Finn grows strong and smart in the forest and eventually is forced to leave the only home he's ever known to begin his journey to manhood and his destiny. There are many characters who help him on dangerous and adventurous way, notably, Cnu Deireoil the Harper and Caolite the warrior, as High King Conn and his druid Tadg (also Finn's unwilling grandfather resume their hunt to exterminate him. A spellbinding saga that if you're not already Irish will make you feel as though you are! The pace is fast and never boring! I'm already engrossed in the second novel of this trilogy, the author does not disappoint!
