Robert Fitzwilliam and his fellow adventurers have each, in their own way, found what they were seeking in the mystical Otherworld. But their intrusion into that sacred country has stirred the wrath of Aoife, Queen of the Night. With her legions of Redcap warriors, she is planning to march on the realm of mortals with one aim: the wholesale destruction of Ireland and the enslavement of all mortal-kind. The people of Killibegs band together to face their fearsome foes in a last desperate stand. They have one chance to defeat the Redcaps: a flimsy, untried strategy that will pit the faith, courage and strength of the heretics against the cold vengeance of the dark ones of the Otherworld. Friendships are forged in this struggle; warriors are put to the test and alliances strained to the point of collapse. But in the end, no matter what happens, it will be those who drink from the Well of Many Blessings who will triumph.
Since childhood Caiseal Mór has been haunted by a deep, abiding, autistic obsession with the Holy Grail. As a teenager he made a personal vow to dedicate his life to the Quest. In his early twenties he set off alone to travel the world, following any clue that might lead him to the Sacred Treasure. He was living near Glastonbury, in the U.K. when he embarked on an exhaustive study of Celtic legends and folklore, eventually travelling to Ireland to hear the old stories first hand. Over the next twenty years he gained a degree in Theatre Arts, published twelve novels centred around Irish tales he'd collected and another two non-fiction books based on his research. He also recorded six CDs of original music to accompany the books. His autobiography, "A Blessing and A Curse- Autism and Me", was published in 2007 to critical acclaim. Since then he's produced a further five CDs of original music, published another novel, "The Lady of the Lamp" and a personal account of his encounters with the miraculous, titled; "What is Magic?"
Caiseal is an author, musician, painter, sculptor and spiritual seeker. He lives and works in Australia with his wife, the portrait artist, Helen Wells.
The accompanying video, "Pilgrimage" is from his CD "Alchemy for the Heart", published in May 2011. More samples of his music may be heard on his website;
