Description
The Chronicles of Iona Exile by Paula De Fougerolles is a historical fiction novel that tells the story of two men who shaped Scotland's future. In 563 AD, Ireland's powerful abbot and prince, Saint Columba, is exiled to the pagan colony of Dalriada on Scotland's west coast after a violent act. There, he meets Aedan mac Gabran, the down-and-out second son of the colony's previous king, who seeks revenge for his father's murder. Together, these unlikely allies travel through a lawless and divided realm, facing blood feuds, lost love, sacrifice, miracles, dark gods, and monsters. Their journey is fraught with danger, but they must become allies to forge a daring alliance with the pagan Picts. As they navigate this treacherous landscape, Columba overcomes exile and a crisis of faith to found the famous monastery of Iona, while Aedan avenges his father's death and becomes the progenitor of Scottish kings. Their personal imperatives become a series of events that lead to the foundation of Iona and the kingdom of Scotland, literally changing the world. This is a gripping tale of unity, sacrifice, and the power of faith in the face of adversity.
