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 decapitated and hung from a barren tree. It doesn't take
long before the members of the struggling monastic community of
Kildare realize that not only are the nuns being hunted by a serial
killer, but the murderer is preforming the gruesome slayings in the
manner of the ancient druid sacrifices. Set in the turmoil of
sixth-century Ireland, where ruthless tribal kings wage constant
war for survival and the powerful religious order of the druids is
threatened by the newly-arrived Christian church, the desperate
task of finding the killer falls to Sister Deirdre, a young women
torn between the world of the monastery and her own druidic
heritage. Unless Deirdre can find the killer before the cycle of
sacrifices is complete, more of her friends will die, the monastery
will face destruction, and the whole of Ireland may be plunged into
civil war.
