Fire Bringer

Fire Bringer is a novel about Rannoch, a red deer, born in ancient Scotland ... the night his father was murdered. But Rannoch is no ordinary deer; he is special, for he bears a white mark on his forehead resembling an oak leaf. To the Herla, as the red deer called themselves, this white mark holds great meaning and power, for it was stated in a prophecy that the deer who was born with the mark would bring freedom to all Herla in the future, and that the bearer of the oak mark would have the ability to communicate with all animals.

First however, Rannoch must survive. Bucks formerly brawled and fought for the leadership, but that way was erased completely, instead replaced by a Lord of Herds, Drail. His helper, Sgorr, who has militarized the herd by making the stags sharpen their horns, training and drilling the young bucks, and will take no resistance. He realizes the threat Rannoch poses to his leadership. Rannoch escapes from the herd, but deep down in his he

Fire Bringer

September 20, 2017

I borrowed a copy of Fire Bringer from a far-away friend I only see in person once a year. It got buried in my TBR stack until I found it about a week before my yearly visit with that friend. "It says Young Adult on the back!" I assured myself. "I'll just finish what I'm reading now, then I'll have three days or so to read it. That's more than enough time for a quick YA book."

I hadn't considered that Fire Bringer was published in 1999, and "Young Adult" wasn't then what it is now.

Fire Bringer follows a young red deer, Rannoch, who was born with a prophecy-foretold mark on his forehead. His family, his herd, and in fact most of the creatures on his island home put their faith and hope in the deer, that one day he'll save them as the prophecy predicts.
