Synopsis "A Summer Without Flowers (in English)"
Long ago, the Morrigan, legendary Celtic goddess of war and death, foresaw a grim future for the human race, and she has watched and waited as the world has become tainted by excess and greed, finally blighting even her sacred space. Enraged, she vows to give humanity a world as desolate as their empty hearts, carpeted with their bones and blood. The Dagda, father of life, stays her hand temporarily and sends Tristan, an immortal Sidhe prince, to enlist the aid of two humans the Dagda knows well, although they've never given a thought to the possibility of his existence. History professor Brianna Sheffield's biologist husband Paul is a fugitive hiding on the Hopi reservation. Plagued by apocalyptic nightmares, Paul is reminded of Hopi prophecy by his cousin Bear: when man loses belief in himself and respect for the earth he inhabits, disaster will result. Uneasy, Paul heads home to Brianna, but their reunion is shortlived when Tristan tells them that indeed, the doomsday clock is ticking. A love story not only between people, but their devotion to the worlds they vow to protect, this is an epic fantasy adventure of what could happen when climate change and environmental degradation are entertwined with supernatural vengeance and a foretold fate. Provocative and timely, A Summer Without Flowers packs an unforgettable punch.
