Hiding her traits as a witch is increasingly difficult for
Isobel MacDonell because her desire to help others in the
village sometimes overrides her instincts for protection.
Her friend, Ceri, implies and outright states that Isobel
has characteristics and hidden gifts she's not yet found.
But Isobel feels she's had enough to deal with after her
mother's death: denying and hiding her gifts, living in
fearful splendor with her keepers...and now.
Now, she's to be spirited away by the rude, but handsome
Scotsman (though that's her own noble lineage) Sir Philip
Kilpatrick to be taken to her betrothed, a man she's never
met. Mysteries revolve around Isobel's mother's fiery death
for witchcraft, as they do her father's current health. She
vows to find out the truth about both.
An elegantly written book, MY WICKED HIGHLANDER immediately
places the reader into 1597, so that one is surprised when
modern conveniences disturb the web Hollings has created.
Elaborately detailed and interesting, this tale starts the
new MacDonell Bride trilogy about three sisters who are
witches, which will be published in three consecutive
months.
With Scotland in the grip of a nationwide witch hunt,
Isobel MacDonell is hiding in England. But when Sir Philip
Kilpatrick arrives to escort her to her betrothed in the
Highlands, Isobel must face a harrowing journey through a
land of fear and suspicion. Soon, however, Philip grows
reluctant to deliver Isobel to the noble intended she has
never met. Isobel has charmed her way into his heart...and
yet her determination to use her magic to solve the dark
mystery of Philip's tortured past could destroy them both.
