Five kingdoms. Two enemies. A hero born.
Ériu is a land where the ruling warrior caste thinks barbarity is strength.
The king of Ulster, Mac Nessa, is an evil man devoid of morals and compunction.
In a land where such people thrive, he strives for the ultimate accolade, the High Kingship. Opposing him is Medb, the Warrior Queen. Medb is a woman who will do everything to avenge herself on her enemy.
Ériu is also a land where heroes are born, and three such heroes join the conflict, which becomes Ériu's most remarkable story: The Táin.
