When your kingdom is threatened, what do you do? Scotland, 9th century. Farm labourer Donnell knows his place in the world. He worships the old gods, works the animals, sleeps in the stables and trusts the Mor-druids to protect the realm. When his Laird instructs him to carry an important message to the North, Donnell sets out – but is thwarted by multiple dangers beyond his control and his imagination. Why won’t the druids respond to the Norse threat? What will it take to defend his village – and the kingdom? Myth and magic meet history in the first volume of the Druid Stones saga –a bold reckoning of the last days of the Celtic realm.
