Gyr's life used to be simple: there was Mum, Dad and his little sister Poppy.
But now all that has changed and nothing makes sense anymore. Gyr is angry, lost and betrayed. Then into his shattered life comes an enchanting presence -- a hero from another time, another world -- Finn MacCumhail.
Gyr is drawn into the exciting and challenging world of the Fianna. On the night of the summer solstice the Fianna must stand before the Spirits of the Ancestors. Will Gyr be allowed to be there too? And will he have found for himself answers to the questions the Spirits pose: Who are your people? What is your future? For what do you stand?
