A Different Kingdom
For Michael Fay life on his grandparents' remote Irish farm is idyllic:
haymaking, fishing in the river, exploring his own little kingdom. Then a fall on a riverbank reveals the existence of another world all around
him, a different kingdom where wolves and bears still roam the dense
forests, sword-bearing warriors do battle with beasts out of legend and
the Devil travels the land searching for lost souls.
Drawn into
this enchanted forest by Cat, a mysterious, wild and alluring girl,
Michael finds himself on a dangerous and desperate journey – from which
he may never escape, however far he runs...
