Irlanda, XVI secolo. Figlia del capoclan degli O'Malley - un clan che veleggiava regolarmente tra Scozia e Spagna a bordo di galee e caravelle a tre alberi -, già a tredici anni Grania si imbarca di nascosto sul vascello del padre, rivelando una vera passione per l'avventura e un'innata disposizione al comando.

Costretta a confrontarsi con nemico potente e arrogante, che non si ferma davanti a nulla pur di annientare la resistenza irlandese, Grania si ritroverà a combattere ancora e, soprattutto, a dover scegliere tra la fedeltà alla patria e la sopravvivenza dei suoi uomini.

An orphan taken in by the chief druid of the Carnutes in Gaul, Ainvar possessed talents that would lead him to master the druid mysteries of thought, healing, magic, and battle -- talents that would make him a soul friend to the Prince Vercingetorix ... though the two youths were as different as fire and ice. Yet Ainvar's destiny lay with Vercingetorix, the sun-bright warrior - king. Together they traveled through bitter winters and starlit summers in Gaul, rallying the splintered Celtic tribes against the encroaching might of Julius Caesar and the soulless legions of Rome. ...
