But now an even greater force arrives from Rome: Patricius, a powerful and fearless bishop who is determined to corrupt the ancient traditions of the Druids to his own ends. It is also nine seasons since Mawn and Sianan began their Druid training. Now they face their greatest test: a journey to the Underworld. If they survive, they may partake of the Quicken potion, brewed by Faerykind which will make them Wanderers, keepers of the ancient magical ways. As they undergo their test, a confrontation erupts between Patricius and the High-King...Neither wish for bloodshed but there is one amongst them who is determined to destroy all hopes of peace.
