Description Valley of the ShadowVolume Six in the "Sister Fidelma" series by Peter Tremayne Metadata ISBN-13: 9780747220169 ASIN: B007NKMZHQ Publisher: Signet Books Publication date: 8/13/1998 Formats: AZW3, EPUB, MOBI Series: Sister Fidelma #6 Pages: 320 Description Sister Fidelma has been sent by her brother, king of Cashel, to Laisre, chieftain of Gleann Geis - the "forbidden valley" - to negotiate permission to build a Christian church and school in his territory, replacing the Druidic sanctuaries. In some remote corners of seventh century Ireland, Christianity has still not displaced the ancient pagan religion, and Laisre's clan is known to be hostile to the new religion, fiercely adhering to the old. Knowing her mission will be no easy task, Fidelma, accompanied by the Saxon brother Eadulf, enters Gleann Geis. Here they come across the naked, slain bodies of thirty-three young men, curiously placed as if in a sun-wise circle. Each body bears the marks of stabbing and garrotting; every skull has been smashed in. Is this some ritual sacrifice? It bears the hallmark of the ancient threefold death of pagan times. The number thirty-three bears mystical symbolism. What evil lies here? And who is responsible if not the heathens of Gleann Geis? The solution to the many mysteries Fidelma encounters is not easily arrived at. And as she proceeds through the "forbidden valley" = the valley of the shadow - she embarks on an inquiry fraught with more evil and personal danger than any she has encountered before.
