Pride of Lions: A gripping Celtic tale of battle and bloodshed
O tej e-knjigi
Fifteen-year-old Donough is determined to make the High Kingship his own after Brian Boru united all of Ireland for the first time ever against the ancestral tyranny of the vicious invaders from the north.
But even as he tries to establish his power base at the emerald stronghold of Kincora, his schemes are hampered by his mother’s treachery and his brother’s rivalry.
Before long, yet another impasse rears its head. The Celtic kings demand a Christian consort for their supreme leader, and Donough’s heart belongs to a druid.
A soaring chronicle of courage and conquest in a land wreathed in myth, this is a must-read for fans of Bernard Cornwell, M. K. Hume and Juliet Marillier.
