Immerse yourself in the chilling events leading up to the legendary Battle of Clontarf on Good Friday, 1014 AD, with this mesmerising historical fiction novella. Based on the short screenplay King Brian & Brodír, this story weaves together the fates of Brian Boru, High King of Ireland, his son Donnchad, and the mysterious Viking pirate Brodír of Man. High King Brian Boru prepares to fight the Viking invaders and Gaelic rebels while his son Donnchad struggles with shame over being left out of the upcoming battle. Donnchad, caught amid prophecy and tension, searches for his actual place in the evolving drama as the shadowy figure of Brodír, a would-be invader, looms large over the battlefield. The Forgotten Prince examines the supernatural influences on Gaelic Ireland and historical personalities like the infamous Sitric Silkenbeard. The depiction of Ireland's most famous battle brings the time period to life, and the reader will most certainly be educated about the mysterious world of Éire (Ireland) in 1014 AD. This edition contains the original screenplay, King Brian & Brodír, a detailed map of Clontarf and its surroundings on the day of battle, expressive artwork, and more.
