The Chronicle of Fionn mac Cumhal Series by Diana L. Paxson, Adrienne Martine-Barnes

This first chronicle of Fionn mac Cumhall tells the story of Ireland's greatest hero, left alone at a tender age to seek his true identity in lands perilous and strange, unaware of mysterious parentage & remarkable destiny.

In the critically acclaimed Master of Earth and Water, the authors created an Iron Age world where their hero, Fionn mac Cumhal was poet, prophet, and warrior. In this second volume of a trilogy, Fionn ventures into the land of Faerie to rescue his otherworldly lover Donait from supernatural monsters.

A classic tale of loe, betrayal and revenge begins as Fionn mac Cumhal is offered the hand of Grainne in marriage in order to bring peace to warring factions. But when Diarmuid, Fionn's most trusted companion, and Grainne fall in love and run off, Fionn must pursue them or lose the respect of his kingdom. HC: AvoNova-William Morrow.
