We follow Lady Katherina to and through the battle of Glenmorgan. An intertwined story tells of Sean Reilly (the man she once loved but now hates) and his allies in their quest to depose the corrupt donal. A third and later sequence relates the coming to age of Katherina's daughter, as she builds The Friends of the Day, dedicated to restoring Tara's true throne. London, Moody, Tara, and Penal City are the stages on which these stories play out toward the 2000 nexus and the 2001 culmination of the ban on the throne.

Prologue We are pleased to offer to the general public this second volume in our narration of the Interregnum. The first volume, The Peace, covered the king's 1941 deposition and exile, the years he and two cousins spent in Irish North America, the role they and their wives played in ending our version of the Three Worlds' War, the Prairie Chicken incident, the Royals' interference in the accession of Calaghan MacCarthy to donalship, and the latter's subsequent revenge. Volume one also described the aftermath of the 1977 battle of Glenmorgan from Brian McIlhargey's point of view, his removal of the infant Mara Devereaux from Ireland, and the early years of Lady Mara's life as Meghan McIlhargey up to their departure from Edwardston. Careful examination of private records and personal interviews of participants allow us to shed further light on events surrounding the battle of Glenmorgan, the origin of the "Friends of the Day", and the lives of Lord Devereaux, Lady Rourke, Lady Meathe, Lady Maguire, and Lady O'Toole. With their cooperation we are able to present never-before-published material on the Royals and several of the donals. However, the general editors, though confident of the accuracy of the entire account, specifically disclaim all responsibility for the style of material personally dictated by the first lady. Readers are also warned that this volume and the one expected to follow detail the most ignominious events between 1955 and 1999, a period sometimes termed Greater Ireland's "Dark Years". Our depiction of perfidy and dishonour will no doubt shock most Hibernians. On the other earths, excepting Water World, the pervasive violence will surely be disturbing. Despite these difficulties, or perhaps partly because of them, we present this account in the hope that readers learn enough from choices key players made in recent history not to repeat some of them. We also caution readers unfamiliar with the style that a Hibernian story circle is a Celtic knot. It returns repeatedly to the same events from different perspectives, the intricate puzzles it appears to weave presenting intriguing illusions. No one knew this better than James IV. All the events described in this second volume take place on Hibernia (Ortho earth per Metan scholars) so the chapter tags mention only the town, not also the planet as in volume one. Readers are reminded that the Hibernian and Gregorian (Tirdian) calendars were identical from 1582 through the fall of 2001. This second volume could not have been prepared without the assistance of Lady Nellie Hacker, who supplied "Aileen", a new and innovative editing program for the Metalibrary. Offered in the Name of the High Lord of Heaven Under the Patronage of the Crown Dedicated to the Throne of Tara, Mistress of Worlds by General Editors Jana Whelan, Ard Seanacha of the Court of Ireland Walking Buffalo, Academician and Lord Holder of Edwardston Cameron O'Grady, Lord High Bishop of Tara Princess Rainbow Buffalo/O'Grady, Seanacha, and Richard Kent, Academician and Lord Protector of England who, with the First Lady, compiled this second volume. * * * * * Now listen up, Aileen. There's to be no editing by anybody--including you--on my parts of this book, see? I reckon I went through more pain than anyone in the courts of glorious Tara to get to this point in life in one piece--even if only more or less--and the Professor said I could tell things my way. So, don't you go letting those high-and-mighty academicians "clean up" my grammar or "tone down" my way of putting things, hear? I won't stand for it, nohow. You're no Kilkarney teacher, so you don't have the right. Oh, and another thing. I supply the versions in both Gaelic for our Hibernia and in English for Tirdia, and personally approve the other four. Your translations are correct enough, but too futsy; they lose the proper flavour and idiom so everybody ends up sounding like they all came outa some cookie-cutter academy. Besides, being First Lady (so to speak) oughta mean I can give some orders, even if only to you. Sure, throw in whatever quotes from the scholars you like about the differences between the Earths, how Ireland came to rule two of them, and then pretty near lost it all whilst I was out of the action, in prison or sleeping away the years. I don't care what else you say. Do what you like with the pieces other people tell you, or with any of the historical stuff from before I was born, but the cut and thrust is that the bits about Katherina-mouse come off the press just the way I tell them to your glassy little silicon ears, or else the Professor and his high-blown academician friends can forget about getting my inside story. Hey, and there's things about times before the nexus only I know, cause they happened to me, see. And don't give me no never-mind about spelling and consistency stuff. Just write it like I say it, hear? Thing is, if His Donalship, the loyal and proper Sean Reilly, hadn't been so flaming patriotic for the glory of greater Ireland at just the wrong time in our lives, things would've turned out very differently. Maybe I would've gotten into more of the interesting fights. Maybe I wouldn't have spent so much time busting out of prison cells and hospital beds. What's that, Aileen? Tell it in the order it happened? Why? You sort things right way round. You're good for that at least. After all, Nellie claims you're an intelligent computer program.
