London solicitor Ruth Gallagher and bereaved hack writer Jack Churchill are the first to witness the dawning of the Age of Misrule, as the Celtic gods and the mythical creatures associated with them return to the modern world. From the sight of an old crone washing a head in the waters of the Thames, the emergence of the supernatural grows quickly, leaving only the sparest of hopes for humanity's survival. The author of "The Dark Age" trilogy begins a new series blending urban fantasy with Celtic legends and should appeal to fans of Charles deLint, Christopher Golden, and Laurell K. Hamilton.
