In the late 7th Century, the High King of Ireland is killed
at night in the middle of his compound. Who killed him is
not in question - there are unimpeachable witnesses that
point directly to the clan chieftain responsible. Dubh
Duin is, after all, found by the High King's guards in the
High King's bed chamber holding the murder weapon. But with
impending civil war in the balance, the motive for the
murder becomes of paramount importance.
The Chief Brehon of Ireland asks Fidelma of Cashel - sister
to the King of Muman and a dailagh - to investigate. What
her investigations reveal is an intricate web of conspiracy
and deception that threatens to unbalance the five kingdoms
and send them spiralling into a violent and bloody civil war
and religious conflict. And it's up to Fidelma to not only
see to justice but to prevent the violent fracturing of an
increasingly fragile peace.
