Conall II: The Raven's Flight continues to chronicle the epic journey of the warriors from Eriu (Ireland). Conall Mac Gabhann and his brooding queen, MOrrIgan, lead over two thousand warriors together with their followers across the narrow sea that separates Eriu from Albu (Britain). Their quest: the capture of Cassius Fabius Scaeva, the dissolute Roman patrician held responsible for the slaughter of their families. The Eriu encounter human, natural, and supernatural foes and friends. At the mercy of the aes sidhe, a race of demi-goddesses who demand that he fulfill an ancient geis, Conall is named as the "Hand of the Goddess" and given the instrument that will crush the Na Daoine TUrsach-a tribe of fanatical, blood-lusting priests. They battle fierce northern tribes: the Aos na Coille, whose one-eyed king, Drostan Ruadh, opposes their presence as do the Na MEadaidh led by the sly Finnean Mac SEitheach. Not all are enemies. The Aos an Fhithich offer their support, although it too comes at a price. Heroes and villains from myth, legend, and history converge in this saga set in the vast ancient forests, treacherous bogs, snow-capped mountains, and mysterious lochs of Scotland some four hundred years before the birth of Christ.
