Publisher Description
In the harsh Scottish highlands of 1565, superstition and treachery threaten a truce between rival clans. It's a weak truce at first, bound only by an arranged engagement between Anne MacGregor and Niall Campbell-the heirs of the feuding families.
While Niall wrestles with his suspicions about a traitor in his clan, Anne's actions do not go unnoticed. And as accusations of witchcraft abound, the strong and sometimes callous Campbell heir must fight for Anne's safety among disconcerted clan members. Meanwhile his own safety in threatened with the ever-present threat of someone who wants him dead.
Will Niall discover the traitor's identity in time? Can Anne find a way to fit into her new surroundings? Will the two learn to love each other despite the conflict? With a perfect mix of a burgeoning romance and thrilling suspense, this book is historical fiction at its best.
Customer Reviews
Read it three times
I enjoyed the book. You'll want to tear your hair sometimes because of the deep mistrust keeping the main protagonists apart. Overall, fun and romantic read.
Moronic
This has plenty of anachronism and inconsistency. The characters can't decide if they speak American English or overdone Scottish brogue. And there is way too much staring at taut thighs for this to be excused.
Child of the Mist
Wasn’t sure I was going to like this book but couldn’t seem to put it down. Mystery, romance, and who do you trust.
