Remscela

Obsessed by the Holy madness of combat...

          Cú Chulainn, dark brooding defender of Ulster, wrestles with fate and bargains with death at the hands of Maeve the Intoxicater -- who is but one of many dangers.

          There is Sidhe Fand, who bewitches Cú Chulainn and is herself bewitched; Levarcham the Satirist, whose complicity causes the war that splits Ulster in half; Cathbad the Druid, who has no equal in the art of mystery, dream and enchantment; the Emer the Riddler, Cú Chulainn's beautiful wife, sole entangler of shape-changing spells...and her husbands fate.

TAIN and its sequel, REMSCELA, comprise the retelling of the Irish epic Tain Bo Cuailnge--the stories of Cú Chulainn, the hero of Ulster who at the age of 18 single-handedly defended his people against the invading army of the sorceress queen Maeve.
