Pride of Lions

On a battlefield drenched in Viking blood, a son steps out of his fathers shadow

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 mothers treachery and his brothers rivalry.

Before long, yet another impasse rears its head. The Celtic kings demand a Christian consort for their supreme leader, and Donoughs 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.
