description: Medb of Connaught is beautiful and bold in battle--and in bed. She will do anything and use anyone to reach her goal, the Brown Cow of Cuailnge. This cow will prove to the whole of Ireland that Medb's possessions trump those of her husband--even the fabled warrior Cuchulainn will not stand in Medb's way.The only one with the power to defeat Medb is her daughter, young Finnabair. She is fair of hair, but her beauty pales next to that of her mother. She is not a warrior nor a lover. Her mother sees her as a pawn; most people do not see her at all. But one day, her mother goes too far and lives are destroyed. Finnabair gathers her strength and rebels-and the entire country of Ireland, and all of the heavens, are changed forever...
