I knew during the writing of "Valley of the Wolf Warrior" that it was necessary to tell this story. It had been dwelling in my mind for quite some time. The story and saga of this lineage was not complete without the sacrifices of the grandfather who created this family being revealed. This is the father of Aran of the valley, in the Pyrenees Mountains of Northern Spain. His attempt to organize the Celtic tribes into an efficient national entity was essential to survival. He knew this, but many other powerful nations on the realm of expanding into the world scene did also. In 1000 BC the Celtic warriors were the most feared people on the world landscape. They had originated from a people to the east, possibly southern Russia. They spread over Europe as the last ice age melted and dominated every tribe they came across. The efforts of Manus the Celtic Warrior would be terminated by rulers of the world powers of that time out of fear of what the Celtic could possibly become. His failure and death told the wise Celtic leaders of his tribe to immigrate to other lands unless they wanted to be devoured by other organized nations. No one can give a good reason as to what causes a mutation to occur in the male DNA, only science can speculate or guess. But I have always felt that it took some warrior or very special person to cause nature to take a different direction in the path forward into destiny on this earth. The seed of Manus left the mountains of Spain and spread to the edge of the world.
