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.
