Not even the god who made her could tame her. When the Dagda took three girls and combined them into a single goddess–that he might have for himself a divine wife–he thought she’d be an obedient sub-deity and an extension of his rule. But the Morrigan is subservient to no man, no matter how powerful a god he fashions himself to be. If she is to rule, however, she must do more than defy the god who made her. She must win the heart of a mortal… Cú Chulainn didn’t want to be a warrior. He dreamed of becoming a bard, a poet… But when he discovers he has the ríastrad, that he transforms into a werewolf when enraged, he finds he has little choice but to serve the whims of his king and defend Ulster. But can the beast be controlled? A faerie touched his heart… it calmed his rage… and he longs for her still… But there’s another who pursues him, who hopes to win his heart… a goddess… Will the Morrigan win the heart of her beloved? Will Cú Chulainn find peace, or will he be destined to a life of battle?
