The eternal conflict between the Light and Dark once again blackens the skies and blights the land. On one side stand the Tuatha de Danaan, golden-skinned and beautiful, filled with all the might of angels. On the other are the Fomorii, monstrous devils hell-bent on destroying all human existence. And in the middle are the Brothers and Sisters of Dragons, determined to use the strange power that binds them to the land in a last, desperate attempt to save the human race. Church, Ruth, Ryan, Laura and Shavi have joined forces with Tom, a hero from the mists of time, to wage a guerrilla war against the iron rule of the gods. But they didn't count on things going from bad to worse ...this is the stunning continuation of a powerful fantasy saga by one of Britain's most acclaimed young writers.

  1. For many years I've been toying with picking up this series. I'm glad I held off so that I can buy these wonderful Pyr editions.

    Once again, Lou, you've done us all a favor with bringing over UK talent.

    Thanks!

  2. Thank you Chris. I ain't done yet. And we'll be doing the Dark Age trilogy, also with Picacio covers, in back of this.
