Mamm of Dunnottar: in 300 words

Born to Power, Mamm of Dunnottar is a little fire-brand from the get-go.

Mamm has bred true to a long line of powerful individuals. The mysticism of the ancient Sidhe folk is a force to be reckoned with, and it’s in Mamm’s blood.

She makes her Choices and sticks to them through loss and grief, pain and triumph. She accomplishes what she sets out to do – no matter what it is or what it takes to succeed. Whether it’s conquering a nation, downing an Empire, or leading a family, Mamm just does what she does – and it works.

When she meets up with her true love, sparks fly; they keep on flying through fire and sword as Mamm and Alaric battle it out.

In the chaos of the closing days of the Western Roman Empire, relationships can be … complicated. The Getae General Stilicho is both rival and ally to Mamm’s husband Alaric. One of them will pave the way for the success of the other. So it has been foretold and so it plays out.

As the second story line weaves in and out of Mamm’s life Story, her descendants prove themselves worthy of their lineage.

It is in Mamm’s later years that she tells the Story of her own life, taking the next generations along with her as she travels back to the days of her younger self – Warrior, Wife, Mother.

The evenings around the hearth-fire of their home on Dunnottar help this growing family to keep their own lives in perspective. They come to learn that they can and they will prevail – by believing in themselves, in their Faith, their Family, their Friends, their Freedom, and the Future which they will protect and preserve at all cost.

In one lifetime, Mamm changes the future of her world.
