Celtic historical author Watson takes on the story of Deirdre--the Irish Helen of Troy--in a tale that is at once lushly romantic, magical, and tragic, in this first of a linked pair of novels about Ireland's most famous women.

Reviews

"Wonderful. Watson does not tell the story, she lives it. Mystical and poetic, a tour de force. A magical and compelling recreation of the lost Celtic world."--Rosalind Miles, author of "Isolde, queen of the Western Isles"

"Jules Watson has conjured up the mythic past, a land of Celtic legend and stark grandeur. Readers will find her world and characters fascinating and unforgettable."--Sharon K. Penman, author of "Dragon's Lair
