The Deer's Cry : A Book of the Keltiad
Patricia Kennealy Morrison
Harper Books, 1999
ISBN:0-06105-927-7 (paperback)
Adventure, romance, and Celtic Legend can be found in Kennealy-Morrison's
newest epic fantasy, a stand-along prequel to her bestselling Keltiad series.
This is the eighth entry (following, most recently, Blackmantle, 1997), and returns to the origin of the entire sequence to
tell the story of Brendan mac Fergus the shepherd. With the coming of Padraic,
herald of Christianity in Ireland, Brendan realizes that the Old Ways are doomed
and that Danaan magic will fade and disappear. So in the year 453 he leads a
small band of Irish to build starships and head for new homes in space.
