Synopsis
The warrior blood of Erins royal line pulsed through his veins, but he was called to a higher battle.As Crimthann, the Wolf, would he become the High King of Ireland, fulfilling his fathers ambitions? Or as Colum, the dove, would he be a scholar in the Church, fulfilling his mothers prayers? The Throne of Tara is based on the thrilling true story of Columba of Iona, the best man the 6th Century could produce: a prince, poet, scholar, soldier, and holy man gifted with a thunderous voice, a prodigious memory, and the powers of Second Sight. Yet his pride and temper led him into battle over a disputed manuscript, and in remorse over the thousands slain, he entered exit among the savage Picts, where he dueled the druids miracles versus magic.

Review
"Desjarlais spins a spellbinding tale with a powerful descriptive flair. A striking story not quickly forgotten." --Milwaukee Journal
"Desjarlais is a marvelous writer. His prose is polished, liquid and glowing. He has a sure hand when it comes to historical detail. His research is obvious but never comes across as an intrusion into the story." --Christian Library Journal
"A fascinating and intriguing story!" --Librarian's World
"This historical novel employs the facts where they exist. Where they do not, Desjarlais uses common sense and imagination to fill in the gaps. Fascinating and informative." --Book News
"Sixth Century Ireland, with its mixture of dark and light, druids and Christians, ignorance and intellect, is portrayed in carefully researched and richly portrayed chapters. A vigorous and poetic tale." --Voice of Youth Advocate
