Imagine a reality where a whispered word is more powerful than an angry fist, where an old Granny living on an island off the South coast of Ireland, a sanctuary for the last of the old world's gods, giants, and heroes of myth and legend, sits smoking her pipe, waiting for her estranged teenage Grandson to arrive. This is the reality Patrick steps into, a reality filled with mystery, danger, of ancient evil and forgotten wars, and the wonders of the World Tree. Leaving behind the worries and violent trauma of his life in London, Patrick spends the summer learning about his family history, his roots, and getting 'educated' by his super tough, Kung Fu boxing Granny Nelly Nyhan. His life will never be the same again.
