Description

In the myths of nearly every society there are tales of a future conflict, wherein the fate of the world will be determined. In Norse mythology, it is Ragnarök--the great battle between the gods and their adversaries, followed by the destruction of the world. In Christian societies, it is the battle of Armageddon and the Apocalypse, the victory of good over evil. For the ancient Celts, it was the final conflict between the Tuatha Dé Danann, the primordial forces of order and reason, and their adversaries, the Fomhóire, the chthonic agents of destruction and chaos. In this, the second installment of The Changeling Trilogy, the omens are present. It is sixteen years after the 'Ballisnahyny episode.' Showers of blood and human carnage inexplicably fall from the sky. Vast clouds of annihilation descend upon the world, destroying everything in their paths. Science calls these events 'X-Phenomena, ' or 'protonomic disturbances.' But Paul Neurath and his friends recognize the nature of these horrors: the return of the Fomhóire. From the mysterious regions of Brittany, to Ireland and Ulster, Paul searches for his friend, the changeling king of the Danaans--the one person capable of subduing the Fomors. Mist of Pain is a whirlwind of adventure, horror, and romance, wherein nothing and no one are quite what they seem.
