But Celtic society was really ruled by an educated intelligentsia class called druids! Every Celtic King had his court druid to advise him! Conor had Cathbad (pronounced KAH-vuh) of the Gentle Face, the great teacher-druid and seer of his age. After his death, Cathbad was revered by the Irish people for over 1000 years. His memory was such a threat to the Catholic Church that the monks vilified Cathbad, twisting the ancient, sacred stories to re-create him as a terrifying killer and rapist. But try as they might, they could not stamp out Cathbad's beloved memory. Cathbad is a pivotal figure in every important story of Ulster during that era, performing amazing acts of divination and magic, and wielding ultimate authority over the king himself. Read Cathbad's fictionalized autobiography as he tells it in Druid of Ulster. Go to druid school with Cathbad the gifted freeman's son who rises from poverty to the king's palace. Agonize with Cathbad the loving father who barters for power, and then watches his children pay the terrible price for it. Hope and despair with Cathbad, leader of the barbaric Irish Celts, as he tries to civilize them in an unimaginably violent historical time. All of Europe stood on the brink of change.

And in the middle of history we find that love, lust, tragedy and corruption happen to all individuals...even druids!A legendary druid from the court of King Conor mac Nessa narrates his own powerful life story in this novel based on the mythology of ancient Ireland.
