All over the country, the ancient gods of Celtic mythology are returning to the land from which they were banished millennia ago. Following in their footsteps are creatures of folklore: the Fabulous Beasts, shape-shifters and Night Walkers, and other, less wholesome beings. As they grow in power, so technology is swept away. It is myth and magic that now rule supreme in this new Dark Age: The Age of Misrule. The Eternal Conflict between the Light and Dark once again blackens the skies and blights the land.

But time draws short and humanity looks set to be swept away . . .… (more)

LibraryThing member mtwaldman
I love modern day fantastic paranormal tales. This book was a very good read from start to finish and I would recommend this book it anyone who enjoys Simon Green's or Jim Butcher's series. It has a darker feel than either Green's or Butcher's books, but I think it is a very worthwhile read.
