Synopsis

In the Region of the Summer Stars is a new Celtic fantasy audiobook from Stephen R. Lawhead, critically-acclaimed author of the Pendragon Cycle.

Ravaged by barbarian Scálda forces, the last hope for Eirlandia lies with the island’s warring tribes.

Wrongly cast out of his tribe, Conor, the first-born son of the Celtic king, embarks on a dangerous mission to prove his innocence.
