490 AD: Red Deirdre

A young herbalist descended from the last Celts of Gaul grows with a loving mother in an idyllic world of enchanted forests and friendly animals. Her life is similar to that of the elves and other legendary creatures of the rural world of yesteryear ... But when tragedy strikes into her life with the merciless violence of the real world, the young elf will tourn to survive first into an outlaw and then into a witch. It will be in this new identity of hers that she will begin to discover the world of Men, so different from the one of her beloved forests; and it will be with a sword in her hand that she will learn to cut her way through the terrifying and violent world of the Dark Ages.
