Note
First line:
Lukas could have sworn the earth had moved beneath his foot.
The author has brought together two stories from traditional Celtic legend here, both concerning Gwynn-ap-Nudd, Lord of Annwn, the Celtic Underworld. One from the Mabinogion, a collection of ancient myths told by poets through the ages and finally written down in Welsh in the early fourteenth century, and the other from The Life of Saint Collen by S. Baring-Gould.
