King of the Gulls

An old Scottish storyteller gathers the people of Kinghorn, Scotland to reveal the misunderstood truths of their history. He tells them the story of a Scottish king, Alexander III, whose death heralded an age of uncertainty. They had heard the stories, but the truth is much grander, wider, and deeper.

In Scotland, 800 years ago, Alexander III became king. He was only a child, but inherited a throne wrought with peril and intrigue. Despised by his mother and adored by his nursemaid, he followed the guidance of his regents and tutors, and of the mystical guides that were rooted to something much deeper than the medieval politics of his country.

On a path he could not yet understand, he grew into a man, found love and friendship, and discovered a destiny that forever altered Scottish history.

What People are saying

Having been to many of the areas where the story took place, I felt like I was actually in Scotland eight centuries ago when King Alexander III ruled Scotland!
While historically accurate, the book is written as a story that has been passed down through the clans over the years.
To me, the book read as an entertaining novel with a Scottish history lesson as a bonus!

This book is based on the life of King Alexander III of Scotland and his beloved friends Vanora and David Lindsey. King Alexander and his Queen “heather” were a very loving and kind couple and I can see why they were much loved in Scotland during their time. The story is fictional in that it intertwines personal events and mythical characters in with historical facts. So if you are a history fan as I am and love mystical fantasy, true friendship, love of country and friends with some fantastic mystic creatures throughout the story then you will enjoy this book as much as I did.
