WARRIOR'S REDEMPTION begins with a young Dani, who despite
her aunt's warnings leaves milk and honey out for the
fairies that only she believes in. Dani is as hard-working
as the rest of us are, never a moments rest as she trudges
though her life. Always wondering when the stories that her
mother read to her as a child would come to life and the Fae
would reveal to her the true path for her life. Just as Dani
is about to give up hope she finds herself transported into
another world. Well an earlier world... try close to
hundreds of years earlier to a time when the veil between
the Fae and the human worlds was not so closed off. Dani
soon learns that she is in Scotland and those swords are
real; so is the kilt that adores the body of a man Dani has
only dreamed of.
Elesyria's only daughter is no longer in the time that she
left her in. What the Fae Queen really wants to know is if
the man she left her daughter with needs to be punished or
rewarded? Determined to find out what has happened to her
daughter and set things straight with Malcolm MacDowylt,
Elesyria takes herself, minus her magic, to the world of the
Mortals to get her answers. For his reward Elesyria is
willing to give Malcolm the one woman in the world that has
been created for him. Unknown to Elesyria this woman was
born centuries too late and it will be a struggle to get her
to accept her new life, her new home, and her fate.
Malcolm MacDowylt, laird of the MacGahan clan, has had more
than his share of trouble with the Fae. Beginning with the
gifts that his family has inherited from their Viking
ancestors and not ending with his last wife. Needless to say
he is none too pleased to find that the mother of his last
wife has arrived on his doorstep. If that was not bad enough
he is plagued by a dream of a woman in a circle of stones.
Much to his surprise he really does find a woman there. Not
just any woman, but the very woman from his dreams. A woman
unlike any other he has ever known. Afraid that this woman
is revenge sent upon him by his mother-in-
law the Fae Malcolm has sworn to protect her. This time he
will get it right even if it's the last thing he ever does.
Unfortunately this is not the only problem on Malcolm's
head. He needs to rescue his sister from his brother, he
needs to deliver the required amount of silver there as
well, he needs to figure out what to do with Elesyria before
she takes over everything, and he needs more than anything
to figure out what this spark is between Danielle and
himself before it inflames them both.
Melissa Mayhue has captivated my imagination from from the
first book of her's that I read and WARRIOR'S REDEMPTION
continues to meet my expectations. I was fascinated with
this story from page one and the adventure continued until
the happily ever after ending. What made this one so unique
from the others is the added role of the Fae Queen Elesyria.
I felt that she is as much a heroine in this story as the
main characters. I would love to see her have her own
happily ever after and her own book. Mayhue definitely
provided us with a whole new facet of Elesyria here; a whole
new side of her that has never been shown before. I simply
loved it!
MALCOLM MACDOWYLT sees himself a failed warrior, haunted by
the death of the woman he married to become laird of Clan
MacGahan. Neither his Viking heritage nor his claim to
descend from Norse gods can restore his confidence in his
ability to protect his people. His sister is held captive,
her life in jeopardy, and his Magically powerful half
brother wants him dead. The last thing he needs is more
responsibility, but that’s exactly what he gets when his
Faerie mother-in-law arrives seeking justice for her
daughter in the form of an enticing woman from seven hundred
years in the future.DANIELLE DEARMON has waited fifteen
years to discover the life she is supposed to live.
She just never dreamed she’d end up in the thirteenth
century with a handsome Scot bent on saving everyone but
himself. With the lives of those most dear to him hanging in
the balance, Malcolm sets out to battle a powerful evil
magic, only to learn that the redemption he seeks exists in
the arms of the woman he loves.
