It is 574. Columba and Aedan mac Gabran hunt down their enemies through the wilds of Ireland’s ancient north and west on a quest to find Aedan’s lost brother, unite the warring peoples of Dal Riata, and to defeat once and for all the tyrannical overlord who holds them all hostage. But a greater enemy threatens: bubonic plague ravages Europe—a mortal peril from which none of them may escape.
“Exile”, the first novel in the historical fiction series “The Chronicles of Iona”, is the story of the two men who laid the foundations of the Scottish nation, an Irish monk, Saint Columba, and a Scottish warlord, Aedan mac Gabran—a real-life sixth-century Merlin and King Arthur.
