This collection brings together fifteen Sister Fidelma stories involving murder, fraud, political intrigue and disputed justice in seventh-century Ireland. The shorter form places Fidelma in varied settings and at different points in her life, from formal court proceedings to crimes encountered while travelling.

The cases illuminate the operation of Brehon law and the customs governing kinship, status, compensation and religious communities. They also reveal background details about Fidelma and her associates that sit outside the continuous chronology of the novels while retaining the series' focus on evidence, motive and legal reasoning.
