"The Well of Shades" is the third in Juliet Marillier's series about the Pict King Bridei, an actual historical figure in ancient Scotland. Historians know very little about the king, so the author fills in with a fairy wife, and the king's Irish bodyguard, Faolon. Many of the king's subjects do not trust Faolon as the Irish have been invading the Pict's lands and converting people to Christianity. Bridei was trained as a Druid and wants his subjects to keep the Old Religion.
This novel follows the king's efforts to reunite his kingdom, but also Faolon's travels through his homeland and his unexpected finding of love and family.
