The Dark Ages have never been darker or more full of wonders than in this extraordinary episode of lost history, the first book of the Celtic Bestiary Tales. Finn, a young Scottish slave, suffers the brutality of his Saxon master yet longs for his owner’s daughter, the beautiful but untouchable Freya. Neither Finn nor Freya suspect that their lives—and the lives of all those in seventh-century Britain—are imperiled by legions of the living dead driven by an insatiable hunger for human flesh.
