The Feast by Randy Lee Eickhoff
This is a modern telling of one of "Fled Bricriu". Three men, each striving to be named Champion of Conchobor's realm enter into a battle of wits and swords. As the competition unfolds, visits to the otherworld threaten to unmask the true nature of the gathering. And at the centre remains Bricriu.
