Opis

Over three thousand years ago, the legendary Celtic champion Cuchulainn was killed by order of the evil Queen Meadhbh. His wife, who had just given birth to twin boys, died of grief and a broken heart. To protect the orphaned twins from the wrath of the queen, one child, Ferdia, was sent to live with his grandfather in Tir na nOg, the land of eternal youth. Fergus, the second boy could not make the journey, and so the twins were separated. Ultimately the two boys grow up in the same land...but in very different times. This is the story of Fergus, the boy who remained in Celtic Ireland. Fergus is a true son of his legendary father and is trained as a champion to fight and defend his people and his homeland against raids and invasions. Meadhbh is well aware of his presence vowing to end Cuchulainn's line once and for all, so Fergus is a marked man. Fortunately he has inherited many of the physical gifts that made his father the greatest of the Red Branch Knights and that combined with his hard work and dedication ensure that defeating him will not be easy. Despite his success on the battlefield, Fergus knows he has a twin brother and longs to be with him again and this is his story."
