SWORD AND SORCERY IN THE TRADITION OF ROBERT HOWARD’S CONAN! “God of my ancestors! What—” The night air was rent wide by a hellish wolf-yelling that rose from many throats, and the moonlight outlined the forms of many dark, squatty men, with broad, protruding foreheads and shocks of black hair that were bound with silver fillets. “Picts,” Cormac snapped, brushing past Ceann. “They shriek when they attack; it’s supposed to strike terror in the hearts of their prey, and render them stone-still with fear!” The next Pictish cry Ceann Ruadh heard was not a challenge to battle, but a shriek of bloody death as Cormac’s Viking sword ripped the warrior open. The short dark attacker went falling in a spray of blood from a wound that would empty him in minutes; it was too huge for coagulation. Sword against dagger, spear against shield, man against Pict... Ceann was sure he and Cormac were outnumbered and underarmed. But even the most ferocious Picts could not outfight THE SWORD OF THE GAEL The Cormac mac Art Series THE MISTS OF DOOM by Andrew J.

Butthat man-raised mountain would hold all of Leinster’s palac ...aye, and a tenth of the kingdom of King Gol of Dalriada in Alba as well!” So declared Cormac mac Art, exiled hero of Eirrin, when first he saw the castle of the grim serpent-kings. But neither he nor his giant comrade-at-arms, Wulfhere Skull-splitter, knew that the twist of fate that had washed them onto that bleak shore was the beginning of a strange and perilous adventure; an adventure that took them back to the land of Eirrin, where a proud princess battled an usurper for an ancient throne.
