The Knight & The Seer

Mystical Highlands #3

by Ruth Ryan Langan

Unlike the other members of her magical family, Gwenellen Drummond has never been able to discern her special powers until a spell gone awry drops her in the midst of carnage. When Andrew Ross returns to find his castle burned, his father and all who lived within its walls dead, he vows revenge against his enemy. Standing in the smoldering ruins is a woman with the face of an angel. Is she here to help him, as she claims, or has she been sent by his enemy to destroy him? Gwenellen will uncover her true gift, but will it come at the cost of love.

A interesting read

[Regiane Moreira · Rating 4 out of 5]

Divertido...

Chegou a vez da terceira irmã, aquela que não acerta um feitiço. Como diria minha avó, ela não emboca uma.
Gwebellen é muito engraçada e muito pura e uma péssima bruxa, mas tem um poder muito especial. Ela fala com os mortos e isso a leva para uma aventura sem igual, repleta de romance e aventura.
3,7 estrelas arredondado para 4... Não superou o primeiro, mas é bom. Recomendo.

Although I have not had the pleasure of reading the first two books in this trilogy, I did very much like this book. The story of the youngest witch who tries to very hard to learn magic and see where her own natural gifts truly belong. When transported into our world, she helps out a warrior who lost everything. As the story goes, their love unfurls and soon they learn what a home is really like with love.

Gwenellen is a witch who doesn't have a good hold of her powers. When she ends up in the Highlands, the first person she sees is Andrew Ross. He's just encountered his fathers castle burned to the ground, and all the occupants killed. How can Gwenellen get him to believe that the one thing she can do is talk to the dead. A good, easy and enertaining read

This was a great Historical book. The emotions between the two main characters was intense.
While I enjoyed, I found myself missing the actual love scenes being more descriptive.
I recommend this to anyone who loves the sweet and sensual read.

The story of Gwenellen, the witch, who struggles to measure up to her sisters magical talents and Andrew the highland warrior haunted by words spoken in the heat of an argument that cannont be taken back. In their journey together, can they find inner peace, love and happiness?
