Rise of the Eagle

The King of Scots is dead. The nobles are fighting amongst themselves, and the country is at risk of invasion by Edward of England. Morag, a young kitchen maid, is blissfully unaware of the danger until she senses the Stone of Scone calling to her. Could she be a druid destined to help her country in its darkest hour? So begins an adventure of mysticism, love, and heroism that will tear Scotland apart.

Author's Journey

Nigel Keith on the summit of Schiehallion.

Nigel was born and raised in Scotland by two historians and then became an engineer. He now lives in California and Rise of the Eagle is his debut novel.

The Legend of Elaira trilogy is set during the Wars of Scottish Independence, a time of great heroism and treachery. Magic was real to the people of the Middle Ages and the novels unleash a druid into those unruly times. Scotland is a land of dramatic scenery and the story explores how geography impacted its history.
