This is the sixth of Fay Sampson's Celtic series. The newly-crowned young queen finnglas returns to the Summer Isle to find war imminent; her uncle Manach has released the white colt, and wherever the colt sets hoof must be claimed for the kingdom. A struggle ensues between good and evil - but it's not always clear which is which. Strong descriptive writing, fast-paced action and traditional Celtic elements combine to produce evocative magic.
