DEATH'S
CHAMPION


When Prince Pwyll recognized the Grey Horseman who accosted him in the strange wood as King Arawn, whose other name was Death, he resigned himself to follow him to the drear kingdom of Annwn, where there souls of the departed dwelled.  But Arawn had not sought Pwyll to end his life, rather to set him a task - to fight the one enemy death himself could not  oversome... and, for the combat, Pwyll would have to assume Arawn's own form.  Pwyll, valiant and steadfast, prepared to meet his foe - but was unready for the greatest test he faced... the temptation of the love offered him by the lady whose humband's guise he wore!

QUEEN
FOR A YEAR


It was a radiant and royal match - Matholuch, King or Ireland, and the beautiful Branwen, own sister to Bran, the giant who ruled Britain.  And for a glorious year they loved and reigned splendidly in Tara.  But then the dark shame that lay behind their marriage was revealed - and, for the sake of his throne and his power, Matholuch cast Branwen into slavery.

For fear of her Brother's vengeance, Branwen and her fate were kept hidden - until the day the coast watchers saw the mighty figure of Bran leading his fleet through the shallow seas to Ireland.  Then Matholuch sent for Branwen and restored her to honor... but it was too late!

THE CURSE
DESTROYED THEIR REALM -
BUT A STRONG AND CLEVER MAN
MIGHT UNDO EVEN
THE MOST POWERFUL BANE


Overnight, the land of Dyvedd was depopulated.  Only the Prince, his wife, his goddess-mother Rhiannon and her warrior-sage consort Manawyddan were left within its boundaries.

Then Rhiannon and Prince Pryderi vanished.  His wife Kigva and the shrewd Manawyddan, veteran of the disastrous Irish wars of the mighty Bran, were suddenly alone.

All the folk of Dyvedd and the two people Manawyddan loved dearer than life were gone.  But the seventh year after the onset of this mysterious curse was at hand, and now came the one chance to undo the evil that had been wrought.

So Manawyddan set the trap for his occult foe with the richest bait of all... himself.

THE
THREE CURSES


Tricked into giving birth to him, the sorceress Arianhod swore that the child should be nameless until she named him... that he should not bear arms until she herself bestowed them... and that he should never love a woman of the human race.

But her brother and lover Gwydion tricked her into bestowing a name, Llew... and Gwydion's wiles brought her to arm him... and then Gwydion called upon his craft to produce a woman who was supremely lovely and ardent in her passion for Llew... yet not human.
