An Trodai

A raiding Norse pirate rapes a young girl in 9th century Connacht, Ireland, and leaves her for dead. Shamed by her pregnancy and wanting a life without the label of Norse for her child, Ceara makes her way south to Ceann Coradh. On her journey, she has a dream about Scathach, a mythical warrior woman. Ceara dies giving life to her son, Scolai, and the story of her dream will follow her son and his heirs for centuries to come.

Scolai grows up to be a Dal gCais warrior in the service of Lorca...
