One of the most popular novelists of our time proudly
returns to her beloved historical romance roots -- in a
thrilling tale of love, murder, adventure, and mystery set
against the haunting landscape of medieval Scotland.
For Princess Gabrielle of St. Biel, Scotland is a land of
stunning vistas, wild chieftains, treacherous glens, and
steep shadows -- skullduggery, betrayal, and now murder.
Prized for her exquisite beauty, the daughter of one of
Englandβs most influential barons, Gabrielle is also a
perfect bargaining chip for a king who needs peace in the
Highlands: King John has arranged Gabrielleβs marriage to
a good and gentle laird. But this marriage will never take
place.
For Gabrielle, everything changes in one last burst of
freedom -- when she and her guards come upon a scene of
unimaginable cruelty. With one shot from her bow and
arrow, Gabrielle takes a life, saves a life, and begins a
war.
Within days, the Highlands are aflame with passions as a
battle royal flares between enemies old and new. Having
come to Scotland to be married, Gabrielle is instead
entangled in Highland intrigue. For two sadistic noblemen,
underestimating Gabrielleβs bravery and prowess may prove
fatal. But thanks to a secret Gabrielle possesses, Colm
MacHugh, the most feared man in Scotland, finds a new
cause for courage. Under his penetrating gaze, neither
Gabrielleβs body nor heart is safe.
