At sixteen, Ivor of Bracken is too young to be a swordsman like his nine older brothers, but he has strong legs and a fine memory, so he can serve his lord as a runner, carrying messages. That sounds safe enough, except that this is Dark Age Scotland. Dangerous outlaws and sinister old gods still roam the glens. Fortunately Ivor is a survivor but sometimes only just! Dave Duncan is the award-winning author of over 50 novels. The Adventures of Ivor brings together three of his young adult novellas into one convenient omnibus edition.
