Daughters of Ashby
Delaney desperately wants the admiration of her mother, "Blood Queen" Eilat, even if recognition means beheading a man. Now of age, she must assume her role as heiress of Clan Dodatrad, thrust into a world of fragile alliances. Clan Glitrós sees this warmongering clan as a filthy spot on the patchwork quilt of clans that knits the land of Ashby in a tentative peace. They warn Delaney that many mysteries surround her birth, and druids had a hand in it.
With the help of her friends, Delaney digs into her clan's dark secrets, Eilat's bloody past, her brother's mysterious coven of druids, avaricious schemers at every turn, and a "ghost" in the dungeon who apparently knows the truth. She falls in love despite the tradition of arranged marriages, tries to balance explosive clan politics, battles forest bandits, competes in archery contests, and deals with the trials of womanhood in a medieval world.

About the author
Robyn Ann McKenzie
2 books9 followersI've been coming up with stories since I was 7 and began publishing poems at age 11. I was featured in the anthology "Best Poets of the '90s" when I was 13. That same year, I won 3rd place in a writing contest hosted by the Disney Corporation.
I went on to major in English. In college, I was a top finalist in a women's sci-fi short story contest and won a trip to Washington, DC. I began to post stories online, and to my surprise, one got over 1.5 million hits.
I am a member of Portland Writer's Group, Washington County Writer's Workshop, and Portland Women Writers. I use my online platform to mentor young writers in over a dozen countries.
My interests include playing trombone, RenFaire and pirate festivals, sailing, collecting swords and old coins, decorating my knee-length hair, playing with my cat, and randomly cackling in the kitchen as a "coffee mad scientist."

Very imaginative.
I love the story. And the romance is great. A book I just couldn't put down. Am definitely waiting for the next one.
