Synopses & Reviews
Exile is the first verse in the Lay of Sláine Mac Roth, son of the Sessair. It follows his life between the ages of 12 and 19, and begins with young Sláine coming to terms with his warrior's gift, the Warp Spasm. Exile chronicles his acceptance into the elite warriors of the Red Branch, and his eventual exile from his own people for crimes against his King. Sláine encounters Ukko, a filthy dwarven scoundrel, who attaches himself to the young warrior, 'guiding' him towards his eventual return to claim the Kingship of the Sessair.
