BARBARIAN SLAVE
He takes her as his warprize—but she enslaves his soul.

BATTLE EAGLE
Bitterness has made him cruel—only she can save him.
Eithni believes herself too damaged to ever find love, and Donnel vows he will never love again. Can they find their way out of the darkness together?
Follow the lives and loves of three warrior brothers: Galan, Tarl, and Donnel in THE WARRIOR BROTHERS OF SKYE series. Fans of well-researched and immersive Historical Fiction and Scottish Historical Romance, and those who enjoy Kathryn Le Veque and Donna Fletcher's Pict King novels, will love this series set in Dark Ages Scotland.

I do not know why but I just do not like it. The leading lady is too angry, and the writing style while seems to be fine does not entice me to like or continue with this book. I can't get into the story.

Love💘 and War🔪🐴 Between Ancient Clans
ADULT Historical Dark Ages Scottish Romances💕 and Adventures🔪🐴
These three awesome books are historical fiction written to represent life and love 💘 during the Dark Ages, before Christianity and before the invasion of the Vikings. The people's in all three books live north of Britain on the Isle of Skye, called the winged isle at that time period.
There lives were extremely primitive, the main groups of people live in forts constructed around a broch, or tower, several of which still exist. These were precursors of the castle.🏰 Their homes are small round huts, probably mostly made of stacked stone.
There are three main clans on Skye, the Eagle, the Wolf, and the Boar clans, and they are at times friendly and at other times they are at war.
Skye is a stark, weatherbeaten isle, and so are the people. Great series!

I enjoyed this journey back in time, and Jayne Castel certainly manages to create a very detailed and thorough setting in which she creates her stories upon the Isle of Sky. I was easily hooked into the first book detailing Galan and Tea's story and eager to read more about the warrior brothers of Skye. I enjoyed the second story immensely with the passion and fire between Tarl and Lucrezia. However, the book that will stay with me the longest, was the third one in the series.
Battle Eagle, after reading the first two books was set up with a lot of anger and emotional tension that poured off the page right from the start. Donnel and Eithni are two characters who've been hurt beyond imagination, their pain and grief written with such emotional clarity, and their journey towards healing made so incredibly difficult with so much pain they must suffer along the road, it was a story of loss, and yet one with such hope, and strength of endurance that I struggled to put the book down and couldn't pull my mind away from their story even when I did.
What Jayne Castel captured in these three stories, dove deep into the complexities of emotions, the soul which lies beneath the external and often torments us with conflicting desires that can tear us apart and bring out the worst of our natures. Read together like this the three stories build on each other to a highly emotional climax where it seems all hope might finally be lost but in reality, it paves the way in the darkest moments for renewed hope for peace and love, not just for the heroes and heroines but for humanity.

I really enjoyed the series, just wanted to see how it was all going to end.

I would rather be reading.
Book 1 was good with good characters and story line. Book 2 however, I ended up skipping about half of it. The characteristics of some of the characters from book 1 changed and the way the men and women acted in this book did not match any of the other books I have read from this same time frame. Men were dominate and they sometimes did not treat women well. Not in this book, the women ruled even though they were not the chief of the clan. Book 3 characters and story line came back to how most writers write this time period.

I have read these three books and loved all their plots and characters. I have immersed in them by two days and only released them when finished .I would like to make a comment about the festivities: the summer and winter times are not equinoxes, they are solstices
So I am now beginning the next serie about these characters offspring and I hope to be so interested about the new books as the just finished

The Lives of the Brothers of Eagle Clan
Three stories, three brothers, three strong women.
A reminder to us in technical age that life is ever elusive and can be cut short, changed or altered.
The stories of love: Tea & Galan, Lucretzia & Tarl, and Donnell & Eithni.. To be fair, Donnell has had multiples lives which include Luana who have him Talor & Eithni who have him humility and peace.

I thought this series was very good. The plots were imaginative and kept you wanting to read more. The characters were well described and fleshed out. Also, the pairings were very good — the couples were very complementary to each other and well suited. I am glad I read this series although I’m not really interested in this time period. I prefer historical fiction where Christ is introduced into the main religious ethos of the time.

very good
Each book by itself is a great read but the three together back for a great story. In the end it’s like one story with different main characters. It pulls you in from the start and keeps you until the end. If I had to pick a favorite book...I think it would be Battle Eagle...book 3. They both had troubled pasts and a lot to go thru and overcome. Great books and you should definitely read them.

I loved this series. What a great read!
The brothers were all strong warriors, and very easy to fall in love with.
The women were all strong too, but in different ways, and I loved watching the romances unfold.
Once again, I was immersed in another time and place, sucked into the Winged Isle where I happily spent hours.
Thank you for another wonderful escape, Jayne Castel!

The Four Clans of The Isle of Skye
I highly recommend this historic series! I thoroughly enjoyed this series set in the era of the Picts. So many emotions in this book, anger, hate, grief and finally love. This series had it all!

December 3, 2021A throughly enjoyable read
The three tales about the Pict warriors, their clan , the battles and their lady loved made for an excellent read. While there is romance there is some great descriptions of the scenery and of everyday life. Makes me gratefully for life as it is today.

I enjoyed all three books. They are well-detailed so that you get a good sense of what the characters' lives are like. Characterization is really good as are the relationships among the various characters, especially the three brothers. The plot was fast-paced and kept my interest throughout, and there was a satisfying HEA in each of the books. Each book is a stand-alone, but it's helpful to read them in order. I've already started reading the first book in the series about these characters' children.

the Warrior Brothers
I enjoyed all three books of this series. Each of the brother’s journeys was different. I like how the author made the brothers similar in ways but oh so different in others. The story lines were so good.

Wonderful
Really enjoyed this series. A lot of emotions in these stories. Donnel's story was almost painful to read because I could almost feel his pain.

Been to Sky…
The book brought it all back to me, my beautiful trip over the sea to Sky. I could picture exactly how the story could be totally true. A really good read.

An entertaining read
This is an entertaining read with strong characters and some steamy scenes, though there is also a lot of violence. Recommended for fans of the genre.

I had no idea what I was getting into when I started this series — overall I am very happy with it!
The Characters
So each book has its MCs or “starring couple” yet as the series continues the cast grows and includes previous books starring couple. As one who LOVES a good epilogue, this writing style had me jumping up and down with joy!!
