Chapter 15

　In the elder days, the night of Lammas had marked the beginning of one of the year's great celebrations, the time of the harvest. The festival honored Lugh, last leader of the Tuatha de Danaan, adopted as a god by many of the peoples of these islands. They had called the festival Lughnasadh.
　Old days, almost forgotten. But Hartley remembered the one they had called Lugh, a great Fane lord who had fled when men of the cross came to Albion and Eire. He newports, like Hartley, had never sought mortal worship; with it came responsibilities that no Fane savored. Most were glad to abandon it and return to the homeland.

Though Eden insisted that her aunt was unaware of her physical relationship with him, he could not dismiss the elder woman as that much a fool.
