SOMEONE IS KILLING THE NUNS OF IRELAND.The grisly discovery of an elderly sister of Saint Brigid's monastery strangled, bled dry, and thrown into a bog is just the beginning. Soon a beautiful young nun is found decapitatedand hung from a barren tree. It doesn't take long before the members of the strugglingmonastic community of Kildare realize that not only are the nuns being hunted by a serialkiller, but the murderer is performing the gruesome slayings in the manner of the ancientdruidic sacrifi ces.Set in the turmoil of sixth-century Ireland, where ruthless tribal kings wage constantwar for survival and the powerful religious order of the druids is threatened by the newlyarrived Christian church, the desperate task of fi nding the killer falls to Sister Deirdre, ayoung woman torn between the world of the monastery and her own druidic heritage. UnlessDeirdre can fi nd the killer before the cycle of sacrifi ces is complete, more of her friendswill die, the monastery will face destruction, and the whole of Ireland may be plunged intocivil war.
