Narration Toward Books Fire Bringer
Young buck Rannoch was born on the night his father was murdered and into a herd of deer where hunger for power has gradually whittled away at all that is true and good. He knows he must escape to survive. Chased by stags, with their fearsome antlers sharpened for the kill, he begins a treacherous journey into the unknown, and ahead of him lies a shocking and formidable search for truth and goodwill in the shadow of the Great Mountain.One day he will have to return to his home and face his destiny among the deer to fulfill the prophecy that has persistently given them hope: that one day a fawn will be born with the mark of an oak leaf on his forehead and that fawn's courage will lead all the deer to freedom. Filled with passion and a darkness that gradually, through Rannoch's courage in the face of adversity, lifts to reveal an overwhelming feeling of light, Fire Bringer is a tremendous, spirited story that takes the reader deep into the hearts and minds of its characters as they fight for their right to live in peace.

Solid character development throughout. Lots of characters to keep track of though. It is a very long, but worthwhile read.This is a childhood favourite and while it stands up to the test of time I am sad to say am I not as enarmored with the story as I was when I was younger.Also, its darker than I remembered.
What does the first day of someone's life reveal about their future? Can someone's destiny be determined at the moment of their first breath?One summer in medieval Scotland, a fawn is born to a hind of the Herla red deer. His name is Rannoch, and on the night of his birth his father is killed when the evil herd lord, Drail, murders the guardians of the herd. A birthmark and a prophecy connect Rannoch to a promise that peace will return to the Herla, but because this promise was revealed when he
Fire Bringer quite honestly blew me out of the water. With the depth of the plot, the creatively woven conflicts, and bold character development, its hard to know where to start. I did not think this book was going to be as detailed and thought-out as it was. Its one of those engaging stories where you learn seemingly insignificant information in the beginning and you facepalm when everything falls into place at the end. Its a cliffhanger start to finish. I was so enthralled that I finished it
I should change my category of "children's literature" to young adult literature, but I digress. My nephew recommended this book with rave reviews, and he was dead on with that. As soon as he finished this book, he read it a second time, which is quite a commitment in a rather long book, with much smaller print than most young adult novels. This book is reviewed as being a "Watership Down" but with rabbits, and that seems like quite the fair assessment. It is set in Scotland about 400 years ago,
This book tries to be a Watership Down with deer. The problem is it is too much of a Watership Down with deer. It doesn't really stand apart from Watership. It is a pale imitation for three reasons. The first is many of the characters are cardboard cut-outs, either based off of the rabbits from Watership or off of stock characters that appear in novels. The second reason is that the world-building that Clement-Davies does for the deer doesn't fully make sense. There are small errors in it that
What a masterpiece this adventurous fantasy novel was. Rich in detail that applies to all of the senses, carefully crafted chapters, skillfully-worded scenes make this MG book as good as it gets. Sending readers on a wild ride in early Scotia, David Clement-Davies leaves nothing out yet trims his paragraphs to perfection. An epic tale of learning who you are, destiny, war, and friendship. Highly recommended. 5 out of 5 stars.
