In an age when Norse invaders
threaten Scottish civilization, one woman will defend her
clan's honor and claim her own exceptional
destiny.
1263: As the Highland village of
Somerstrath prepares for the joyous wedding of Margaret
MacDonald, the laird's daughter, a dark storm of bloodshed
and betrayal closes in.... Now, determined to hold her
shattered clan together and locate her abducted younger
brother in the wake of a brutal Viking attack, Margaret
must choose between obeying the dictates of King
Alexander's court, or placing her trust in Gannon
MacMagnus, an imposing half-Irish, half-Norse warrior. Who
is this stranger who vows not to harm her? Will he
vanquish the barbarous killers who would continue to
destroy the rugged, magnificent land she calls home?
