The Legend
In Ireland in 1176, an ancient Gaelic monster called "The Toll" was set loose by the Druid gods of the Tathua De Dannan. This indestructible creature devoured many of the English Invaders and instilled fear in King Henry II who was building his version of The London Bridge. This creature was finally captured, but could not be killed. The King declares "that it is to be entombed within the superstructure of my new bridge where it shall remain forever." And there it sat for more than 800 years.
Historical Fact
England suffered an economic disaster in the 1960s and in order to finance a newer version of this icon, old London Bridge was sold to a real estate developer in the United States during that period and transported to Lake Havasu, Arizona where legend has it that the creature remained still trapped and very hungry.
The author's imagination takes the legend and the facts from there. A modest earthquake in 2019 cracks the area holding the beast and an aftershock opens the fissure and the creature begins to feed...but only on people of British blood. He roams the night sniffing his prey. Fee Fi Fo Fum.
It is also the story of a wondrous love affair between the brave Irish warrior Sean O'Magnahain and his beloved Deidre of the Banshee Warrior women. The story tells how Sean was transformed into the avatar of The Toll and how the intrepid Deidre follows him to America and helps him to return to the British Isles to continue his "work."
