Beneath the streets of Seattle, a long-forgotten war is about to be
renewed....
Richard McAllister, a spiritually destitute homeless man and Knight of
the Yn Saith, protects one of seven portals linking his world to that of
Annwn, where the fey Tuatha de Dannan of antiquity have been relegated
by a long-running religious war.
Unknown to Richard though, powerful forces are aligning against him and
all he stands to keep safe. In the wilds of a discarded world, Philip
Plantagenet, son of Henry II, moves to claim a birthright nine centuries
in the making, one that drives him to eliminate the Tuatha de Dannan--at
any cost to both worlds. In the halls of Vatican City, Cardinal Vicar
Cormac Pell O'Connor schemes to control the Heliwr--the Unfettered
Knight--one who possesses the great power known as the Dark Thorn.
The three men are on a collision course with history--and their futures.
For in the wilds of Annwn, death comes as easily as magic.
Haunted by a past he can't forget and a knightly responsibility he can't
shun, Richard is drawn into levels of machination--and two worlds--far
darker than any he has prepared for.
