Scotland. 1328. Conjuring with all of her will, Ana de Dannon summons the greatest champion of the ages, Cuchulain, the legendary Irish warrior. Only he could defeat Ana's evil half-brother, Roderick, and free her mother, Rhiannon, from Edinbugh Tower. In a perversely generous gesture-as he knows no man in the land will face him-Roderick has offered to release any prisoner whose champion can defeat him in a tournament.

But the powerful man Ana conjures is not Cuchulain, though the word Warrior is written on his strange and colorful garment...and his face is hidden beneath a massive helmet. Ana has mistakenly called forth Kenneth MacKinnon, quarterback for the Seattle Warriors, and the greatest champion of his age-the year 2000. But he may be the hero she needs after all, when he learns to do battle for something greater than his own glory-the love of a fair maiden.
