Amergin, druid and chief bard to the sons of Milesios, preserves the history of a Celtic people living in north-western Iberia. As their prosperity fails and reports arrive of a fertile island beyond the sea, his poetic vision helps persuade his family and followers to abandon their homeland and undertake a dangerous migration towards Ierne.
The voyage brings the Milesians into conflict with storms, rival ambitions and the mysterious Tuatha Dé Danann already associated with the island. Drawing on the medieval Book of Invasions, the novel treats the legendary coming of the Gaels as a story of settlement and cultural memory, with Amergin forced to balance spiritual authority, loyalty to his brothers and responsibility for the future of his people.
