At the hall of a Scottish chief deep in the western Highlands, a bard sings and plays on his harp, spinning tales to the gathered company. Caught in the enchantment he weaves, his listeners cannot get enough of the stories he tells, the next of which concerns a princess and the Scotsman who loves her most helplessly. Snatched from her beloved home and sent away to marry a man she neither knows nor loves, Caledonian princess Darlei vows it will not break her spirit. Yet her determination to be true to herself is thwarted at every turn, and she begins to fear that in losing her freedom she will lose her very self. The one compensation she can find is a growing friendship with Deathan MacMurtray, the brother of the man she is to wed. Deathan has always lived in his brother's shadow, second in the field and in his father's estimation. His brother will one day be chief, and Deathan must allow him the glory. He's never minded till now, when a woman of singular strength and beauty is destined to become his brother's bride. Her spirit speaks to him with the voice of a shared past, and he swears this once he will do whatever he must to make her his own.

Autorenporträt
Multi award-winning author Laura Strickland delights in time traveling to the past and searching out settings for her books, be they Historical Romance, Steampunk or something in between. Her first Scottish Historical hero, Devil Black, battled his way onto the publishing scene in 2013, and the author never looked back. Nor has she tapped the limits of her imagination. Venturing beyond Historical and Contemporary Romance, she created a new world with her ground-breaking Buffalo Steampunk Adventure series set in her native city, in Western New York. Married and the parent of one grown daughter, Laura has also been privileged to mother a number of very special rescue dogs, and is intensely interested in animal welfare. Her love of dogs, and her lifelong interest in Celtic history, magic and music, are all reflected in her writing. Laura's mantra is Lore, Legend, Love, and she wouldn't have it any other way.
