Overview of the book: For over two thousand years, tales of the mythical hero Setanta have held a central place in Celtic lore, comprising the first vernacular epic in Western Europe. Setanta's courage and combat against kings, queens, amazons, and invaders remain an inspiration to his native people. "Setanta: The Warped One" gathers and galvanizes Setanta's adventures for a modern audience.The story is narrated by Mael Moro, a twelfth-century monk charged with transcribing the legends of Setanta and his fabled world for posterity. Moro's epic moves between Setanta and the vivid characters surrounding him: the celebrated King Connor, the barb-tongued Briar MacMalice, the Amazon Queen Maeve, and many more. We follow Setanta from birth to adulthood as he navigates a world of warring factions, intrigues, and deception, always with one goal at heart-to protect the province and people of Ulster's famed Red Branch Court.
