About this listen

King. Warrior. Lover.

Brian Boru was stronger, braver, and wiser than all other men-the greatest king Ireland has ever known. Out of the mists of the country's most violent age, he merged to lead his people to the peak of their golden era.

His women were as remarkable as his adventures: Fiona, the druidess with mystical powers; Deirdre, beautiful victim of a Norse invader's brutal lust; Gormlaith, six-foot, red-haired goddess of sensuality.

Set against the barbaric splendors of the 10th century, Lion of Ireland is a story rich in truth and legend-in which friends become deadly enemies, bedrooms turn into battlefields, and dreams of glory are finally fulfilled.

The historical basis of this great story caused me to reflect on the life of Brian Boru and the values he lived by. Who knows what Ireland would be like today if he and his Eldest son had survived Clontarf. Thank you Morgan!

An inspiring story about a great King!
