88 feet below Messines Ridge, an enormous charge of explosives
lurks in the darkness, waiting to be detonated under the German
trenches, whilst members of the Royal Irish Rifles prepare for the
attack. Sapper John McCreesh entertains himself and his fellow
miners with stories of the Morrigan, the war-goddess of the ancient
Irish: stories which hold up a disturbing mirror to the lives of
the men around him. Corry-Burnett, a young Lance-Corporal, must
lead a trench raid in order to ascertain whether German miners are
aware of the imminent danger, but one of his men is already a
shell-shock victim whose conviction has been shaken by violence.
Meanwhile, Siobhan O'Flaherty, a nursing sister, copes on a daily
basis with the horrific injuries and psychological traumas of the
victims of war. Her brooding, enigmatic presence and her strange
connection with a pair of ravens will intrigue and mystify readers,
as her feminine strength is mustered in a world dominated and
traumatised by masculine power.
