As a young girl, Isobel Grange watched the power of the Seer's Stone slowly drive her mother mad. Years later, Isobel wears a part of the Stone around her neck and remembers her mother's warning that if her father ever found her, her life would be in danger.

Douglas Stewart, the Black Wolf of Scotland, called Wolf by his friends, is being forced to marry Isobel or else his brother will die for treason. It is a false charge, but it's leverage their father uses to continue to play puppet master over his sons.

Isobel knows that marriage only brought starvation, isolation and death to her mother, but it is a way off the Isle of St. Kilda and closer to freedom. One way or another, she will be free. A new life? New hope? She has never been off the Isle, but now finds herself journeying with strangers to the Black Isle, Wolf's home.

Nothing short of fate has brought these two people together as their lives become deeply entwined. They face danger and betrayal at every turn. Is it Isobel who's being hunted, or is it Wolf? But through it all, they find the freedom they so gravely desire. It's not by being alone that they gain their freedom, but by being in each others arms. But will Wolf still love Isobel when he discovers she's the daughter of his mortal enemy? Will Isobel still love Wolf when he reveals the identity of his father?

WARRIOR'S BRIDE is a poignant story of two people with painful pasts, hateful fathers and hidden secrets. But they are survivors with deep convictions for freedom, no matter what the cost. Theirs is a captivating, heartfelt love story born of strength, survival and eternal trust. Ms. Russell gifts us with a remarkable story that touches the heart. The ending is nothing short of exhilarating. You feel like you're in the middle of a great arena wrought with adrenaline. The strongest warrior enters the battle and is regaled in chain-mail. This warrior is fighting for freedom, fighting for justice, fighting for the man she loves. This warrior is a woman; this warrior is Isobel. Brava! What an ending! You don't want to miss this one!
