The gods are celebrating their king when the lights suddenly die and a seer's voice fills the darkness: take Ireland or fade to nothing beneath forgotten stars. So the Tuatha Dé grab their four most powerful artifacts and sail west wrapped in supernatural mist, carrying a stone that screams under rightful kings, a spear that never misses its target, a sword made of pure light, and a cauldron that brings the dead back to life.

Here's the problem: Ireland already belongs to someone else. The Fir Bolg spent two centuries as slaves in Greece, carrying mountains of soil by hand in leather bags, building fertile land just to get kicked off it again and again by their masters. When they finally snapped, they slaughtered entire Greek towns, stole their ships, and sailed home to claim Ireland for themselves. When Eochaid, son of Eirc becomes their high king, the Fir Bolg are lifted into a new golden age where crops grow perfectly from morning dew alone and his justice is so perfect that lies have no place in his kingdom. Then one night he has a dream that changes everything - black birds rising from the ocean to destroy his people.
