description: <span><span>"5STARS.Brilliant, vibrant prose makes this book a real joy.To create and infuse such energy into the exciting and engrossing pairing of an Irish saint and a Scottish warlord requires more than just a writer's skill or a historian's appreciation; it takes a talented storyteller. Readers ... will love this book." <i>ForeWordClarion Review</i></span></span><br /><br />As a medieval historian, de Fougerolles is deeply informed. Throughout, the reader learns of the Dark Ages complicated cultural scene, but this is no textbook: The characters come alive with complex inner lives. Through it all, de Fougerolles writes well. This novel will leave readers eager for more. Exciting, immersive and authentic. Kirkus Review<br /><br />"This historical novel set in sixth-century Scotland relates the struggles of St. Columba to establish his monastery and of Aedan mac Gabran to gain a kingship. As a medieval historian, de Fougerolles is deeply informed: Her novel includes historical notes, a glossary and a chronology, as well as hand-drawn maps. Throughout, the reader learns of the Dark Ages' complicated cultural scene, but this is no textbook: The characters come alive with complex inner lives, and Columba's spiritual struggles take on a fully rendered significance that matches Aedan's love affair. Their hazardous journey sparks with rescues, magic, monsters, escapes and miracles. Through it all, de Fougerolles writes well. The first in a planned series, this historical novel will leave readers eager for more. Exciting, immersive and authentic."-Kirkus
