Maeve Rising Warrior

    (Cherry Blossom, 2022)

Maeve (also, Maedbh, Medb, Meadb) is the story of Queen Maeve the Irish warrior Queen of Connacht, the western province of Ireland, and a sovereign goddess. Her name means "intoxicating." She was the most beautiful and powerful woman in ancient Ireland more than 2000 years ago. Daughter to the king of Connacht, she had five recognized husbands, many lovers, fought battles, became high queen, and was responsible for the death of Ireland's greatest hero. She ruled for over sixty years. It was said she required of her husbands they be "a man without avarice, without jealousy and without fear." She was skilled in the arts of magic and sorcery and was most likely a female Druid. She came to a tragic end.
