When a unicorn, the embodiment of magic, is wounded with a poison dart, Maddy (The Feral Child) is called upon to re-enter Tír na nÓg and track down the unicorn's attacker. Hostile faeries of the Tuatha de Dannan court complicate her quest. Although the action is slow to get going, Golden breathes life into Irish mythology by highlighting real antagonisms.
