Not quite as finely tuned as some of his later writing, yet still a classic Stephen Lawhead book. History, hints of intrigue, a faithful hero, and a justice in the end. Although the conclusion is an excellent stepping off point for the next book in the cycle.
Two college roommates head to the highlands to investigate a mysterious event, one doesn't make it home and the other has to deal with the aftermath. Lewis eventually finds his friend in the Otherworldly, but he's a changed man.
Bards, Celtic warriors, a demon horde, and a betrayal, the only thing missing was a princess! (4/5)
