Download Valley of the Shadow: A Sister Fidelma Mystery of Ancient Ireland AudioBook Free
In Ireland of Advertising 666, Sister Fidelma is sent by her brother, Colgu of Cashel, the ruler of Muman, to the remote control valley of Gleann Geis, whose inhabitants still abide by the historic Druidic ways. Her mission is to discuss with the chieftain, Laisre, for permission to build a Christian chapel and institution in his territory. Fidelma's task will not be a fairly easy one, though, as Laisre's clan is known because of its hostility to the new religion and brutal adherence to the old. Getting close to the valley, Fidelma and her friend, Brother Eadulf, come after an especially grisly arena - the slain bodies of thirty-three young men, located in a sunwise group and bearing the grades of the historic threefold fatality of pagan times. As an emissary of her brother the ruler, and with her position as a dalaigh - an advocate of the Brehon courts - it is Fidelma's responsibility to discover the truth behind the gruesome murders. In the forbidden valley, Fidelma embarks after an inquiry that not only places her in the gravest personal threat but after which rests the continuing peace of her brother's kingdom.
