"Sinann the faerie (Sidhe)loves Scotland, and Scotland is in trouble. She invokes a powerful spell involving a magnificent sword, calling for a hero, a Cuchulain, to aid her beloved land. What she gets is Dylan Matheson, martial-arts teacher, Celtophile(he is proud of his Scottish heritage), who has no idea what he has gotten himself into by handling that same sword--in the 20th Century...but he is about to find out. "
