Aidan, only child of Brennan and Aileen, and the grandson of Niall, is heir to the Lion Throne of
Homana and inheritor, too, of a prophecy carried down through the generations and finally on the
verge of fulfillment. But will Aidan - driven as he is by strange visions and portents - prove the
weak link in the ages-old prophecy, the Cheysuli who fails to achieve his foretold
destiny>
For as Aidan prepares to set out for Erinn to claim his betrothed, he will become the focus of
forces out of legend, visited by the ghosts of long-dead kinsmen and by the Hunter, a mysterious
being who may be a Cheysuli god incarnate. Commanded by the Hunter to undertake a quest to
claim a series of "god-given" golden links, Aidan will find himself challenged by the Cheysuli's
most deadly foe, Lochiel, the son of Strahan who will use every trick of Ihlini sorcery to stop
Aidan and destroy the promise of the prophecy once and foe all....
