Paula de Fougerolles, Ph.D., has always had a deep love and appreciation for mediaeval history. A Thomas J. Watson Fellowship, during which she crisscrossed the continent on foot with a backpack, gave her an immersive, first-hand knowledge of the landscape and material culture of early-mediaeval Europe. With a Ph.D. from the Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic Department of the University of Cambridge, she then mastered its languages, literatures, and histories. That learning and passion has been focused into her award-winning fictionalized-history series, "The Chronicles of Iona". "Island-Pilgrim" is the third novel in the series.

"While the term 'epic' is too often casually bandied about, there
is no doubt that this series is deserving of that epithet. With
elegant and lyrical writing, de Fougerolles has composed a
thrilling and fast-paced journey that ... will appeal to fans of
Bernard Cornwell, George R.R. Martin and any who enjoy stories of
King Arthur or the Dark Ages." ForeWord Clarion Reviews "Vivid,
brutal and beautiful." Kirkus Reviews "Probably the best book on
the Dark Ages I've read, certainly the best informed." Simon Young,
author of 'A.D. 500' and 'Farewell to Britannia'
"A rich feast. This historical fantasy series' latest installment
once again brings myth, history, magic and religion to warm and
vivid life." Kirkus Reviews
