The Clan Donald Saga
The award-winning Clan Donald Saga:
Summer Warrior (Somerled, 12th century)
Bound by Honor (Angus Og Macdonald, late 13th and early 14th centuries)
The Strongest Heart (Donald Macdonald, the Hero of Harlaw, late 14th/ early 15th centuries)
Born to Trouble (Alexander Macdonald, 15th century)
Their roots were in ancient Ireland with its high kings, in the Isles where the Norse settled and in ancient Dalriada, the Kingdom of the Gaels. They were the great sea lords, plying the waters of the Hebrides in their galleys and ruling the Western Highlands and Isles for four hundred years.
From Somerled, the first Lord of the Isles, who was called "king" to the Macdonalds who fought with and against Scotland’s kings, they were known for their courage, honor and constancy.
These are the tales of their Chieftains, men of great deeds, and the women they loved, whose stories are worth remembering. In bringing them to the world of historical fiction, I hope to inspire my fellow Clan Donald members and my readers who love all things Scottish.
