Hannah Howel returns to the splendor of medieval Scotland in this first novel of her new trilogy -- a saga clan warfare, divided loyalties, and forbidden love. Here, in the Scottish highlands of the 15th century, a powerful knight meets his match in a mysterious beauty bent revenge.
When destiny brings Sir Balfour Murray and his wounded brother down the same road as Maldie Kirkcaldy, she offers her services as a nurse even as she tries to deny the desire this dark-eyed knight ignites. Soon they discover that they both share a mission of vengeance, but Maldie cannot reveal her true identity -- to do so would brand her a spy. Now, Balfour is not only determined to unearth Maldie's deepest secrets, but also to pursue his passion for her. And nothing will stand in his way -- even if it threatens to divide his clan.
