Description

The once-great city of Gastar stands in ruins following centuries of war by undead monsters driven by an evil temple.  Victory cost the people of the knowledge to defeat another enemy, Zermon, ruler of hell, who seeks to extend his realm by annihilation of the few people left.  With the help of a sympathetic ancient dragon, volunteer fighters from the past war, and the arrival of a teen assassin named Shevata who is known to Zermon, they combine efforts for the existence of the people of Gastar.

The author describes places and events growing up in Ireland with effortless and musical prose. She has her own poetry too, which is interspersed seamlessly into the text, that echoes the many themes she touches on. Overall, quite an enjoyable read and a charming memoir on Irish life and culture.
