Finn Mac Cool, son of Cuhal Mac Trenmor and Muirinn of the White Throat, is a man of myth and legend who was a small leader of a group of fennidi, but rose to lead the warriors of the Fianna who guarded the King of Tara. He married his beloved Sive on a day of battle and they struggle through the struggles of their homeland. Wonderful story of the early days of Ireland and its legends.

I just can't say enough good things about this author. Another exciting story about a legendary (third century)Irish warrior. Read it - end everything else by Llywelyn. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0812524012, Mass Market Paperback)

Somewhere in the shadowy borderland between myth and history lies the territory of Finn Mac Cool. Mightiest of the Irish heroes, leader of the invincible army of Fianna, he was a man of many faces: warrior, poet, lover, creator, and destroyer. Finn Mac Cool is a man taken from one of the lowest classes of Irish society, driven by ambition and strength to rise above his birth and bring new respect and status to his people.

He had it all and lost it all, but in the end he gained immortality. Finn Mac Cool is a novel of sweeping historical grandeur and awesome adventure.
