She was the support for her clan, she was the rock they looked up to. And yet now, it was time for her to remember what had lead her down this road in the first place. This is book 6 in my Highland series. All of my other works in this series can be found on my profile. Highland Dream (Book 1), Highland Supplanter (Book 2), Highland Strength (Book 3), Highland bear (Book 4), Highland Chieftain (Book 5). I would suggest reading these before this book for some context with the story.

Most of you know the story of Troy. How Paris fell in love with Helen, the woman who set sail to a thousand ships. But what about the common people. Elpis was not originally from Troy, taken by force from her home, her life had taken on a new form. That of a slave, born free, and enforced into a life she had not chosen. Only with the coming storm would help Elpis understand how her new place in life could help her to survive. Or will it seal her fate. A fate that everyone believed the Gods had already mapped out for them. AN - This book has been edited, I would appreciate it if you could find anything that needs looking at that may have been missed. Complete book.

When Aria's father sells her to a stranger from the north, she never expects to be cherished like a daughter. To live in a castle, showered with every luxury. Her sumptuous new life is every young girl's dream. But as Aria grows older she can no longer deny the mystery and strangeness of her beloved foster family. Especially the Greyback men. Nor can she ignore the dark menace of the woods beyond the castle. Aria is determined to unravel their secrets. Above all, those of Lucian Greyback, the enigmatic and unsettling man to whom she is betrothed. When her curiosity gets the better of her, Aria is compelled to venture into the forest and discover the truth. But beneath flesh and blood lies a beastly legacy. And a birthright she could never imagine. If you enjoyed the gothic, captivating world of mystery in Jane Eyre (but need a little more bite), you will love the suspenseful and alluring secrets of Aria's journey in this book.

The second moon rose over the mountained horizon. Bathing the land towards the calm sea in a golden light which danced with the slivery light of the first moon which was already at the peak of its arch. Yet even at this late hour, the revelry was still in high spirits across the land as the news spread from town to town of the joyous news. The people had been waiting on baited breath for the riders to be seen as the news was brought to their villages. Even the loneliest homestead was not forgotten, as hundreds of men raced across the land professing with great elation the news which would change their fortunes. The gods had spoken and through this new life, they would once again be great. They had been underestimated as a people for too long, seen as the barbarians, when if anything they were the most enlightened, allowing their gods to rule their fortune. Too long they had wasted in the dark, this was the blessing they had been waiting for. This was going to be the start of a new age. But what they did not realise was that as this joyous occasion was taking place, the turn in the act of the gods finally in their favour once more, was that an army was amassing, ready to make a final attempt to end the war which had waged between two nations for an eon it seemed. The turn in their fate may just have come too late it seemed. But this was not to be known as that silvery golden light shone down upon the merriment beneath the orbs above.
