Celtic mythology is widely considered to be among the most captivating of Europe's various mythologies due to the presence of a number of captivating aspects, including but not limited to: adventure, heroism, romance, and magic. The Celts were once a great people who dominated most of Europe, but, as a result of Roman invasions, they have since been reduced to a few minor groupings. Their mythology, on the other hand, was preserved largely as a result of the efforts of later monks from Ireland and Wales who wrote down the stories.

Sharshuk hat es nicht leicht. Während seine orkische Sippe nach Schweiß und Blut riecht, hängt ihm der süßliche Duft von Flieder an – ein Spott, der ihn zum Außenseiter macht. Als Spross eines mächtigen Schamanen will man ihn außerdem in barbarische Riten zwingen, die er verachtet. Sein größter Wunsch? Endlich so sein wie alle anderen Orks – und die Gunst der stolzen Zulia gewinnen. Doch die Große Mutter hat andere Pläne mit ihm.

Una narrazione sospesa tra sogno, visione, confessioni personali e riflessioni stimolanti che, con la forza dell’allegoria, si rivela un vero manuale di discesa e risalita dall’ombra in quel processo di trasmutazione alchemica umana che conduce alla luminosa consapevolezza di sé.
