The Renegade Lords of Scotland - Book 2

Edward I, King of England, will stop at nothing to conquer Scotland.

His campaign to unite the British Isles under a single crown, largely inspired by an Arthurian prophecy, is already underway with the submission of Wales.

Now, he must get his hands on the religious group of Saint Malachy, a symbol of the Irish nation, to complete his implacable design.

Only one man can thwart his plans: Robert Bruce. He left his war-torn village to return to Ireland and also wants to find the men of Saint Malachy to keep them away from Edward I.

Royal blood flows in his veins and he intends to fulfill his destiny and thus ascend to the throne of Scotland.

To do this, Robert Bruce will have to face a game of conquest, power and betrayal that will force him to abandon what he holds dearest.

He always prepared to die on a battlefield, but he now wonders what else he will have to sacrifice to keep hope...

Review from the Librairie du Grimoire Ancien

In Renegade, the second installment of The Scottish Masters trilogy, Robyn Young intensifies the dramatic tension and deepens the psychological complexity of Robert Bruce. The author brilliantly orchestrates a narrative where political ambition, spiritual quest, and personal sacrifice intertwine in a narrative framework of rare density.

This volume stands out for its exploration of the esoteric dimensions of medieval power: the Arthurian prophecy guiding Edward I, the search for the religious group of Saint Malachy, and the royal destiny inscribed in Bruce's blood give the narrative a mythological depth that goes beyond a simple historical novel. Young masters the art of weaving history and legend, the temporal and the sacred.

The hero's progression, forced to renounce what he cherishes to fulfill his destiny, evokes the great tragic figures of epic literature. Published by Fleuve Éditions and translated by Maxime Berrée, Renegade confirms Robyn Young's talent for ambitious historical sagas and is essential reading for lovers of medieval history and foundational myths.
