Born under a prophecy that foretold beauty, bloodshed, and tragedy, Deirdre is kept in seclusion by King Conchobar of Ulster, who intends to make her his queen. But when she catches sight of the noble warrior Naoise, Deirdre defies her destiny and chooses love, fleeing to Scotland with him and his brothers. Their quest for peace is short-lived, however, as the king’s obsession leads to a betrayal that changes the course of Irish history forever.
