I am Somerled. The summer warrior. What am I, if not a warrior?
In the twelfth century, the lands bordering the Irish Sea are riven with violence as Gaelic, Norse and Norman warriors battle to control the sea roads. A fleet sails from Ireland to reclaim a lost Gaelic Kingdom. Aboard the ships is a boy called Somerled.
The son of an ageing chieftain, Somerled must prove his own worth as a warrior. He will rise to lead his men into battle and claim the title of Lord of the Isles - but what must he sacrifice to secure the glory of his name?
The Winter Isles is an astonishingly vivid recreation of the savage dynastic battles of medieval Scotland: an authentic, emotional, powerful read.
