Princess of the Highlands Trilogy Book 1 ~~~ A TIME OF DARKNESS Six years since the Danes invaded Scotland, slaying her finest men. Five since the Highland King married one of the enemy, betraying his countrymen and losing the Lowlanders' support. Three since the king died and the Danes imprisoned the remaining blood heir to the throne. Her crown stolen, her country desolated, Fiona McCurragh now faces the looming threat of execution. The Lowlanders, weary of enemy rule, seek to free their stolen homeland. With the aid of a blind harper, they attempt to rescue their Highland princess when the Danes ride in on Lowlander territory, shattering the fragile peace. The Scots are left with no choice except to launch a war in the face of the coming winter. If they do not attack now, the Scots-and their princess-may not live to see the spring. In the face of despair, Fiona McCurragh finds courage in friendship with two chief's sons. Yet conflict lies on more than one side, and for some of the Scots and their allies, loyalty no longer has any meaning. --- **FEATURED on Wattpad's Blast to the Past List** **Highest Ranking: #34 in Historical Fiction 8/24/2020** January Book of the Month in Historical Fantasy in The Gladiator Pit Top 5 in The Historical Award 2019 Best Technical Skill in Fiction in The 2019 Futhark Awards Best Historical Fiction Chapter in What a Chapter Contest 1st: Earnesty Awards 2017 Hidden Gems Awards 2017 The Paper Plane Awards 2017 The Chaos Awards 3!

They live on opposite ends of a continent. The ferocious Second World War tears it apart. How will they survive through immense battles and heartbreaking conflicts? Friedrich Müller is a devout young adult who wants to serve his country. Pride looms over him and the army he volunteers in, the Wehrmacht, and is unaware of the dangers that they overlook when his army invades the Soviet Union, and how many are against their presence. Anton Kretzsky, a student who attends Moscow University and is engrossed in literature, is suddenly conscripted into the Red Army and he is forced to serve the government that he is deeply against. He unknowingly holds the skill of marksmanship, and is made into a lethal assassin by his own companions, oblivious to what they made him become. What would happen when both meet face to face, in a time when war was all that existed? ©officiallysarra, 2016 Cover by officiallysarra, photos belong to rightful owners
