About this listen
Fifth century Ireland comes alive in this imaginary tale of Kiara the healer and the shepherd boy who would change the face of history. This book weaves fact and fantasy into an engaging story.
Beginning with Niall of the nine hostages, high king of Ireland, this story tells of Maewyn Succat, a young Briton from a prosperous Christian family, who is kidnapped by Niall and made a slave in pagan Ireland. It is there he meets young Kiara, Niall's kinswoman who has learned the healing arts of her fellow pagans.
The wild and beautiful hills and glens of ancient Ireland are lyrically described as the young healer teaches the shepherd of the terror and wonder of her pagan gods. Then, a powerful dream comes to Maewyn which shows him the way to escape his bonds, return to his native land and leads him to his true calling as a Christian priest. He takes the name of Patrick.
This book will be enjoyed by anyone of any age who is drawn to the world of enchantment and imagination.
