The Green Women

Green is the leitmotif of this land. The rivers run green and so does the bathwater. The women are green - they have strange teeth and no men. Their song is fearful. And Eithne and Conor have come to be among them. In the keep where they are staying, Eithne soon begins to catch glimmers of shadows, of something with teeth in the water. A wall appears out of nowhere. And the dame of the house, Mistress Greenwater, tells Eithne to "Lock and bar your door this night. Pray that your man sleeps heavy. Come morning, ride from this place. Forget what you have seen here and never come back." Illustrated by Marcia Borell, The Green Women is a Celtic tale of dark magic that you won't want to miss.
