The Irish queen's golden rattle has followed Ragnhild and Murchad across the sea to Gausel, where its curse shatters their happiness. Ragnhild summons a völva to counter the spell, but Norse magic is no match for a curse from the Otherworld. The intervention backfires, leading to catastrophe.
Ragnhild, Murchad, and the intrepid crew of
Raider Bride battle winter gales to cross the sea to Ireland, to contend with the sorceress queen of Aileach.
But they fall into a trap laid by powers older than kings, the Tuatha Dé, the Fair Folk of the Otherworld.
The Otherworld is beautiful and terrible, with harp music that captivates, pigs that roast and live again, a god who smiles like a storm.
Ragnhild and Murchad must ally with the Irish queen to trade, trick and storm the Otherworld, racing the tide of fairy time.
