Synopsis

Halt receives word that a religious cult is spreading across the Celtic kingdoms offering protection in exchange for tribute, and takes Will and Horace to Clonmel to investigate—and confront Halt's own murky past in the region. A strong installment that finally gives Halt a meaningful backstory and emotional depth.
