Fate and Fabled: Cú Chulainn
Cú Chulainn was the great warrior-hero of the Ulster Cycle. As a demigod born of a mortal mother and a divine father, he defended Ulster from many threats with his unstoppable rage, inhuman strength, and iron will. His passions were great, his sorrows deep, and his feats awe-inspiring. To this day, he remains Ireland’s best-known folk hero. Part of the "Fate and Fabled" series.
