This is the story of a man who, from the heart of the Roman Empire, found himself in a distant barbarian country, where warriors rejoice equally in both the sound of the sword and the song of the poet, where honor is valued more than life itself. This country is Ireland, as it was two thousands of years ago. It was the age of heroes, the age of battles, bragging, drunkenness and wonderful stories, a golden age in which myth and reality mixed. King Conon's court is filled with heroes, but Ireland's greatest warrior is the boy Cuchulainn, a stranger whose birth is shrouded in mystery. The boy turns into a man - he is taught and guided through life by the much-experienced and slightly grumpy Leary, friend, confidant, charioteer and narrator of this story. Cuchulainn faces his greatest test. He knows about the gloomy fate that awaits him, but he boldly goes into battle with the countless army of the vengeful Queen Maeve, who dreams of conquering Imaine Machu... This is a new story about heroism and friendship, about love and betrayal, about war and poetry. This is a story told in a new way. Cuchulainn, Guard of Ulster.
