Prologue

Eochaid mac Eirc, the High King of the Fir Bolg, stood atop a hill overlooking the plains of Mag Tuired. His eyes, deep and reflective, scanned the horizon. He knew the Tuatha Dé Danann were coming. Word had spread of their arrival—beings of great power, wielders of magic and technology far beyond the comprehension of ordinary men. The air was thick with tension, a prelude to the storm of battle that was about to break.
