About this ebook

King, warrior, and lover Brian Boru was stronger, braver, and wiser than all other men-the greatest king Ireland has ever known. Out of the mists of the country's most violent age, he merged to lead his people to the peak of their golden era.

His women were as remarkable as his adventures: Fiona, the druidess with mystical powers; Deirdre, beautiful victim of a Norse invader's brutal lust; Gormlaith, six-foot, read-haired goddess of sensuality.

Set against the barbaric splendors of the tenth century, Lion of Ireland is a story rich in truth and legend-in which friends become deadly enemies, bedrooms turn into battlefields, and dreams of glory are finally fulfilled. Morgan Llywelyn has written one of the greatest novels of Irish history.

Ratings and reviews

A book that does exactly what a book should do - makes me forget where I am, takes me to not just Ireland the place but the time. Descriptive enough to pull me in, but stopped short of distracting from the story...and who better to write about than a man who united the Irish to drive out the Viking invaders, a true 'hero'

A book you cannot put down and which will soon become your favorite book of all time. A beautiful and magical book of Ireland.

Fille d with history, myths,and wonder! Excellent story. Thank you for fine story telling.
