A Shadow of Gulls

A Shadow of Gulls

When Lugh the Harper, son of a Roman fugitive and an Irish priestess in the second century AD, was driven from Connaught under a curse for having killed the Queen's anointed consort, he sought refuge at the court of her enemy, the High King of Ulster, and later among the Tuatha de Danaan, the so-called fairy folk who lived in the hollow hills.
Many years later, he set down his story for the benefit of his honoured friend, the Emperor Hadrian. It is a story of battle and love and carnage, of bitter feuds and acts of heroism such as are still part of Ireland's heritage today; a story of treachery in high places and loyalty that endured to the death; of Cuchulain, Champion of Ulster, and the famous Cattle Raid of Cooley, of Maeve of Connaught and Deirdre of the Sorrows, all narrated by a young man who was witness to the events which his subsequent retelling made famous in smoky halls of a winter's evening, ensuring their immortality.
Patricia Finney has written more than twenty novels, including 'Do We Not Bleed?' and 'Love without Shadows', both published by Climbing Tree Books.
