Quarantining the distorted patch of reality that is the Dwarven homeland of west Connacht does not lend itself to epic battles. Long, dull periods of watching the coasts for Fomorian pirates and those who would aid them for their own ends, broken up by small, squalid skirmishes in the bogs and pine forests. Constantly watching for reality going out to lunch.
For the British military, west Connacht is just a tedious and unwelcome theatre. But for the dwarves of Ireland, and the Fomorians who drove them out of the region, this is a personal matter.
Historical fantasy meets spy fiction in this collection of tales of a low-intensity conflict, set around Ireland in the early 20th Century.
