Some places hold the soul like no other and a return is
inevitable, no matter how bitter the leaving. Although
safe in the 21st century, the lovely and impetuous Mairi
MacKiernan knows she will never find her own true love in
her present life or in her past, for if her cousins with
the Fae power had not rescued her, she would have been
brutally murdered in 1272.
If that was frustrating enough, Mairi found out from old
family documents that her beloved Aunt Rosalyn's daughter,
Marsali Rose, the last of MacKiernan women with the gift of
Fae magic, had been tragically killed in 1295. Torn by the
anguish her favourite aunt must have suffered and stymied
by her own lack of powers, she desperately wanted to do
something, but didn't know how. Then intrigued by the
interesting information that Jesse gave her about the
lineage of other Scottish relatives, especially Sarah
Douglas McCullough and her husband Ian with whom he had a
brief visit, and the impact of their part-Fae blood, Mairi
started thinking and planning.
Despite her pregnancy with twins and being near term, Sarah
gave Mairi a warm welcome when she arrived in Scotland for
a short visit. Mairi said she was just going to have a
short visit to Sithean Fardach, her old castle, but Sarah
sensed she was hiding something, especially with her
unusual request to keep a package of her research. So,
when Mairi didn't return as expected, she was alarmed and
asked Ian to send a guardian to find her.
Newly graduated from training as a Guardian and Protector
of Mortals, Ramos Servans, was surprised he was selected to
handle this task and further astonished when he found out
he had been specifically requested for this critical
assignment. Vowing not to fail to protect Mairi, he was
shocked when he found out the identities of the dangerous
men that sought Marsali. Could he save Marsali and Mairi
from the same people who had betrayed him before? He was
determined to find his destiny, yet with the House of Pol
involved, would it be what he expected?
Melissa Mayhue has crafted a suspenseful paranormal time
travel romance that links characters across time, events
and strong emotions while weaving in an intriguing story of
two murders and their effects on the people involved, both
past and present. You will not want to put down this story
of destiny and heart's desire with its unexpected twists of
fate set out by the Realm of the Fairies. While this is a
wonderful read on its own, fans will be pleased to know
this is the third book in Mayhue's "Daughters of the Glen"
Series with a fourth book, "A Highlander of Her Own" coming
in early 2009. Can't wait for that! Enjoy!
