   None No current Talk conversations about this book.   ) NaomiMusch | Jan 1, 2019 |  Such. An. Amazing. Story! This saga starts in the highlands of Scotland where we are introduced to a boy with a yearning for adventure. The monotony of his highland life chafes and bores. But when his clan is thrust into battle, and Adventure bares her fangs and reveals her full gory fury, Ailean realizes the joys of the plain life he's always taken for granted. And he becomes a man. A man who's had everything stripped away but his faith in God and his stubborn Scottish pride. His pride keeps him putting one foot in front of the other, even when his mind begs for the sweet release of death. His faith in God... well, he's not sure that even exists anymore. I don't want to say more, lest I give too much away, but this is such a beautiful saga! The character arc in Ailean MacLachlainn is superbly created as he matures into manhood. And you'll be transported back to the highlands of Scotland so expertly, that you'll almost be able to taste the bonny clabber and feel the rough weave of the plaid feileadh-mor against your skin. Highly recommended! ( ) LynnetteBonner | Apr 20, 2011 | no reviews | add a review
