 This
is the tale of one man's journey from the heart of the Roman
Empire to a distant, rough-hewn land where warriors delight
equally in the sound of the sword and the song of the poet
- a world where honour is more important than life itself.
This is Ireland, two thousand years ago.
This is a time for Heroes, a time of battle, boasting, drinking
and telling stories, a golden age when myth and history meet
and mingle. The court of King Conor throngs with Heroes, but
it is the boy Cuchullain, an outsider whose birth is shrouded
in mystery, who will grow to be Ireland's greatest warrior.
Retold as never before, this is a thrilling,
timeless tale of heroism and friendship, of love and betrayal,
of war and poetry. This is the story of Cuchullain, the Hound
of Ulster. |
