Tacnbora Book One: Exile and Pagans

Set in 6th-7th century Britain and Ireland, Tacnbora reimagines the life of an unnamed man found buried at the threshold of the royal palace at Ad Gefrin. No name was recorded. No story survived. Yet he had a life - and this may have been it.Findlugán mac Cobthach, known as Finn, is raised in the shadow of Saint Columba and trained among the warrior-kings of Dál Riata. A monk who carries a sword, he walks between rival kingdoms, divided faiths, and fragile alliances in a fractured north where belief is becoming a weapon.As pagan traditions fade and Christianity spreads across Britain, Finn serves as emissary between Pict, Gael and Saxon courts. But ambition, grief and deception threaten to draw the kingdoms into war. Bound by loyalty yet torn between worlds, he must navigate intrigue and shifting power at great personal cost.Inspired by a brief reference in Bede and the archaeological discovery at Ad Gefrin, Tacnbora blends recorded history with imaginative reconstruction to tell the story of a forgotten life in an age of saints and kings.
