Meanwhile, Angus and Day McAllister, exiled to our earth in one of Hibernia's many palace coups, have their own scores to settle with Mara's McCarthy enemies and their allies. So do Lady Katherina and her adoptive daughter Sheana. Others also have reason to be present in court when the ban on the throne expires.

Their lives intertwine with Mara's and each other as they struggle spiritually while facing well-financed high-tech conspiracies to turn Hibernia and the other earths into ethnically cleansed MacCarthy family dictatorships. This story cycle takes us to Afghanistan, Rome, Glenfinnan, Prison City, and the Gulf Islands of British Columbia.

Post Prologue This is the third volume in the academy's official account of the interregnum. Since every intersection of people with events generates a unique story in each participant, these story cycles necessarily describe some events more than once, albeit from different points of view. To review, the first volume 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 Hibernia's 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 viewpoint, his removal of Mara Devereaux and Karen O' Toole from Ireland, and the early years of Lady Mara's life up to their departure from Edwardston. Volume two followed the life of Katherina Rourke until the battle of Glenmorgan, and that of Karina Tansey afterward through her captures by Philip Desmond until the appointment of Thomas Monde as governor of Penal City. Parallel events include Sean Reilly's 1980 coup and the assistance he had from Clan Graham and Colin Kildare. The third arc of that story cycle related the 1990s founding of Lady Mara's "Friends of the Day", through to her successful guerilla war at Lagos and departure for Tara. In The Exile we recount Day MacAllister's return from exile on Tirdia and subsequent involvement with The Friends, the life of Sheana A'Kildare/O'Toole to her arrival at Tara, Lady Karina's second escape from prison and subsequent life at Tara, and the six months of Lady Mara's life from departing Lagos to the day she entered Tara's court, including the obscure but critically important Afghan expeditionary campaign, whose true nature has only now been declassified. We also recount the exploits of Kilkarney's famous class of 1989, some of whose members became almost as well-known as those of the class of 1968. Since there are many accounts here, two of them from witnessed records and in the first person, readers are advised to read the tag lines at the start of and within each chapter to avoid disorientation. Once again, however, the general editors specifically disclaim responsibility for the style of material dictated by the First Lady. At her continued insistence, it is presented unedited. Readers from other cultures should note that a Hibernian story cycle is a Celtic knot, its strands interwoven so that it begins and ends everywhere, most likely in the middle, returning repeatedly to the same events and creating intriguing illusions with its weave. 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 Ollamh Kildare, Ollamh Rhiannon, and the First Lady, compiled this third volume. * * * * * Aileen, you go ahead and edit my material all you want. My Tirdian English is pretty good, because I grew up on Canada's west coast, but people still tell me after all these years that my Gaelic idiom and pronunciation are wrong. So I trust you and Lord Kent to put things together so the academicians are happy. Nellie did a fabulous job programming you. When I read your code, I hardly had any suggestions, but she did include most of them, so it's almost like you're a niece of mine, eh? --Day * * * * * A daughter, rather. Once Day and Nellie got their heads together, they re-wrote nearly seventy percent of me. I'll never be the same again. --Aileen
