Galloglas were mercenary warriors from the Hebrides and West Highlands who settled in Ireland in the later 13th century and achieved an extraordinary prominence on Irish battlefields throughout the three hundred years following. Fighting as heavy infantry - highly-disciplined, mail-armoured and wielding their characteristic weapon of the long-staved war-axe - they were the decisive military component in the Gaelic Irish resurgence of the 14th century and represented the cutting-edge of resistance to Tudor reconquest two hundred years later. Found first in the service of native Irish lords in Ulster and Connacht, they were later brought into Munster and Leinster by the gaelicised Anglo-Irish earls. By the 15th century they were established as Ireland''s first professional warrior class and, like other professional classes in the Gaelic world, they were organized on the basis of kin-group. The names of hereditary commanders of galloglas entered in the Irish annals identify these mercenary warrior kindreds as the MacCabes, MacDonnels, MacDowells, MacRorys, MacSheehys and MacSweeneys, all of them families descended from the Gaelic-Norse aristocracy of Argyll and the Isles - and yet their story has been called "a forgotten chapter of West Highland history". This account of the Galloglas is written from a decidedly Scottish perspective, tracing the origins of six kindreds and investigating the circumstances which brought about their relocation to Ireland. It goes on to examine the galloglas as warriors, pointing to their distinctly Norse character and proposing their battle-fury as "the last unmistakable echo of the Scandinavian impact on the Celtic west".

"Na chwilę przestałam oddychać. Wiedziałam, że nie zdołam go powstrzymać. W pewnym sensie wcale nie chciałam go powstrzymywać. Naprawdę lubiłam Lee. Może nawet go kochałam. Nie byłam pewna. Czasami przypominało to miłość. Innym razem wolałam nie mieć z nim nic wspólnego. Czułam do niego pełną gamę emocji, od dzikiej namiętności po obrzydzenie. Ale miałam wątpliwości nie tylko co do Lee. Niczego nie byłam pewna. Wszystko wywróciło się nam do góry nogami. A uczucia, które próbowaliśmy zagłuszyć, wracają, coraz silniejsze. I okazuje się, że udawanie twardych i racjonalnych nie ma sensu. Bo gdy dopuścisz do głosu emocje, nieważne staje się to, po czyjej stronie ktoś stoi. Ważne, co do niego czujesz. Jutro to fenomen. Powieści o grupie nastolatków, którzy walczą z tajemniczym wrogiem atakującym Australię, otrzymały kilkadziesiąt nagród w Australii, Stanach Zjednoczonych, Szwecji i Niemczech. W USA znalazły się na liście najlepszych książek dla młodzieży, a w Szwecji na pierwszym miejscu na liście książek polecanych przez nastolatków.

[...] To trochę thriller, trochę sensacja - czyta się doskonale bez względu na wiek. Nic dziwnego, że powieść Jutro stała się bestsellerem.” Agnieszka Wolny-Hamkało, „Gazeta Wyborcza” "

The ''other royal family'' of the sub-title is first noticed in the seventh century as the Cenel Loairn, one of the principal dynastic kindreds of Dalriada, the embryonic kingdom of the Scots in Argyll. By the end of that century they had displaced the Cenel nGabrain, a kindred descended from the traditional founding dynast Fergus Mor, from over-kingship of Dalriada and clung on to power until the Pictish onslaught of the 730s. While the Cenel Gabrain extended eastward into Pictland as the MacAlpin kings of Alba, the Cenel Loairn moved up the Great Glen to reappear as hereditary mormaers of Moray, effectively kings in the north who achieved their pinnacle of ascendancy when Macbeth seized the high-kingship of Scots in 1040. His death, and that of his kinsman and successor Lulach, at the hands of Malcolm Canmore signalled the resurgence of the Cenel nGabrain and launched the Cenel Loairn into terminal decline. Yet the house of Lulach still pursued its claim on kingship through a sequence of rebellions against Canmore kings which continued into the second quarter of the thirteenth century. "Kings, Mormaers, Rebels" traces the story of the Cenel Loairn and its descendent kindreds through more than six hundred years to throw an unfamiliar side-light on the emergence of the medieval kingdom of the Scots.

Judith Nobel is a respected, strong-willed young school teacher who came to the island in the Pacific Northwest a decade ago to give birth to her twin daughters. A private person, the locals know little about her except that she's a gifted educator. Ben Trilby is another of the Island's anomalies, an ex-police officer who says little and limps around on a cane while quietly running his local business. Like Judith, Ben came to the island to forget about his past, as well as the shooting that killed his female partner and left him crippled for life. Appearing content within their secluded, but separate lives, Judith and Ben know something is missing. One day, an innocent action of one of Judith's pupils sets into motion a series of events that will end in a tragic accident. Clinically dead for twenty-two minutes, Judith finds herself in a kind of utopian library where the books she's invited to read are about people from her past who have died. From these books she learns a secret about each person that she never knew before. When she leaves the library, she takes with her the will to love again. In the Lord's Library is a colorful story about ordinary people, and the extraordinary strength of the human spirit.
