This is the second historical fiction by this author who is quickly receiving international acclaim.
March 16, 2005 (Press Release) --
Based in sixth century Scotland, the novel is a story of love, jealousy, treachery and war but also of faith and a closeness to nature.The Celtic beliefs are threatened by a form of Christianity that is harsh and in many ways evil. The Angles are determined to settle Northumbria and eradicate the Celtic faith. Moreall and Armand, in their own individual ways, give their lives to a battle to save what is most important to their people. From this tiny bit of history, Shirley Roe, with her unique story telling style, has carved a story that draws the reader in and doesn't let go until the final sentence. For lovers of historical fiction and for those yet to be initiated, this book is a must. Reader and author, Shawn P. Thornton writes: " Trust me this is a world class novel. I got so hooked that I finished the first 120 pages at 1am this morning! The action and suspense is so continuous that I would compare it with the Da Vinci Code and the earthiness and display of basic human emotion in a primitive setting reminds me of Pearl Buck's Good Earth!"
