It is nine seasons, too, since Mawn and Sianan began their Druid training. Now they face their greatest test. a journey to the Other-world. Only if they survive con they partake of the Quicken potion brewed by the Faery kind, which will make them Wanderers, keepers of the ancient magical ways.

But as they undergo their testing a fierce confrontation is taking place between Patricius and the High-King of Eirinn. Neither leader wishes for bloodshed but there is one amongst them who is determined to destroy any hope of peace, intent only on violent and bloody revenge.
