The book is dedicated to the analysis of four symbolic images of Irish mythology and folklore. All of them are women, all stand on the border between this world and the Otherworld, each carries a destructive element, each is encoded with a significant name. The beauty Etain, the prophetess Fedelm, the grotesque trickster Leborcham, Queen Gormlaith - four images of Fate, four symbols united by one thing: they bring death to anyone who comes into contact with them. What is this? Ancient goddesses who have taken on the form of mortal women, or wives of the mysterious ancient 'dark race' enslaved by the Celts, who have not lost hope of revenge?
