A swashbuckling historical novel, retelling of one of Ireland's most celebrated legends - the story of the Cuchullain, the Hound of Ulster. Ireland, 2000 years ago. A time for Heroes, a time of battle and stories, a time when myth and history meet and mingle. The court of King Conor throngs with Heroes, but it is the boy Cuchullain, an outsider about whom there is an aura of mystery and prophecy, who will grow to be Ireland's greatest warrior. As he grows to be a man so his exploits become legendary - extraordinary feats of courage, cunning, strength and arms by a man only too aware of his dark destiny. Soon, only he will stand before the gathering armies of the vengeful Queen Maeve, but he is Cuchullain, the Hound of Ulster.
