À propos de cet audio
An insane king. His fleeing daughter. Estranged brothers, with a scarred past, risking everything to save her from a fate worse than death. Toss in a holy priest and a lovable wolfhound, and get ready for a wild race across Ireland.
For the first time ever, the legend of Saint Dymphna, a 15-year old Irish princess who lived in the 7th century, is brought to life in this contemporary novel for teens. When Dymphna's mother dies, her insane father believes Dymphna is his wife. With three friends, Dymphna manages to escape, but is pursued by the king's soldiers across Ireland.
Although the story is centered around the princess's plight, the main character is actually not Dymphna, but Turlough, one of the soldiers hunting them. His motives, however, are different from the others. His younger brother, Brioc, is one of the three helping Dymphna escape! As Turlough races against time to save his brother from certain death, misunderstanding after misunderstanding occurs, making Brioc believe Turlough is trying to kill them all.
Action-packed and with twist after twist, this is not your normal religious biography. Written in fast-paced, contemporary style to appeal to modern teens, this is a historical adventure that doesn't let up.

The Irish accents place you in Ireland
