Marie Drummond rides to MacCraith Keep with her clan's betrayal written into the walls. Her grandfather left the Laird's grandfather to die in battle, and now she's the price of peace.
Marcus MacCraith wants a Drummond dead, not in his bed. Then he puts a wooden sword in her hand, and his thumb finds the pulse at her wrist.
He kisses her in a loch. When a villager draws a blade on her, he nearly kills the man in the square.
Then he collapses at her feet, poisoned, and the elders say a Drummond did it again.
Kira writes so beautiful & real about a relationship starting out with prejudice, proceeding to understanding & love. Marcus & Marie’s story was so heartwarming to fall into. Marcus teaching her sword work was perfect. Plenty of danger & learning to stay strong!! Love her books!
This book keeps you on your toes. Two clans are joined to make an alliance from past wars. There is a villain out there but so far not captured. Can't wait for next book.
Love it and could not put it down. It was really a good book and can't wait to read the second book in the serie. I wish it was longer and the story was finished
