Description

From acclaimed historical novelist Kathleen Givens comes a wonderfully created, delicately detailed book that brings to vibrant life the tumult, experience, and enthusiasm of thirteenth-century Scotland, when Norse invaders laid claim to the territory and its people -- and an intense conflict of civilizations, politics, and individual satisfaction changed the planet forever. 1263: On Scotland's western shoreline, the town of Somerstrath makes for that memorable wedding party of Margaret MacDonald, the laird's child. But a black surprise of betrayal and bloodshed is closing in, like the Highlands is threatened by a merciless band of Vikings. Maggie is decided to put on the MacDonald family together and to find younger brother was abducted by her.
