Vrenessbith - Awakening ... the story of a wee faerie born to protect the Highlands before Scotland was born. She learned to work with men and women making this land their own, instructing them in life and how to preserve the hills. When these same men and women are drawn into a war they were told they could not win, Vrenessbith and other Highland faeries fought by their side.
Our story is told by a modern Highlander, Angus Gregor, who has three grandchildren to entertain and his own invader attempting to destroy his mountains.
What if you could view memories of others? Of those who lived when our world began? In Vrenessbith - Catharrachd (pronounced ca~hair~ZHA), Vrenessbith continues to protect the early Highlands and is given an incredible gift. At this same time others are trying to rid the mountains of man. But this story is not just a look into yesterday. In our modern world, Angus pulls this saga from ancient scrolls, while yesterday comes back to life.
Vrenessbith is not just a story of fantasy! It is a story of passion, romance, struggles to survive, small victories, big defeats ... Vrenessbith is a story of life filled with smiles, laughter, tears, heartache, and love. Love of men and women. Love for a home. And Passion for Life.
E. Gale Buck began working on this saga while in physical therapy for a frozen shoulder. Diabetes and playing the Great Highland Bagpipes for years took an uncommon turn, creation of scar tissue deep within his left shoulder - the arm that holds and squeezes the bag. This therapy was often painful. To escape the pain he journeyed to the mystical Highlands, where he met a wondrous faerie struggling to save her beautiful mountains. Copies of this story were given to family under the title "The Highlanders' Way." When therapy completed the story was laid to rest. Years later, Gale was asked to join a writers' group and the story was re-awakened. The story grew for six years, becoming "Vrenessbith" and has since undergone multiple transformations as willing readers reviewed the story. Twenty five years and eight months after this tale was born, the final pages were published.
It isn't a secret, but a third chapter of Vrenessbith is in the works - Vrenessbith - Return!
