Soon a beautiful young nun is found decapitated</p><p>and hung from a barren tree. It doesn't take long before the members of the struggling</p><p>monastic community of Kildare realize that not only are the nuns being hunted by a serial</p><p>killer, but the murderer is performing the gruesome slayings in the manner of the ancient</p><p>druidic sacrifi ces.</p><p>Set in the turmoil of sixth-century Ireland, where ruthless tribal kings wage constant</p><p>war for survival and the powerful religious order of the druids is threatened by the newly</p><p>arrived Christian church, the desperate task of fi nding the killer falls to Sister Deirdre, a</p><p>young woman torn between the world of the monastery and her own druidic heritage.
