Princess of the Highlands Trilogy Book 2 ~~~ A CRY FOR VALOUR Five years since the last blood heir to the Scottish throne was imprisoned by Danish invaders, death her only prospect. Two since the Lowlanders rescued their princess while failing to free their country, waging a winter's war. One since the princess went into hiding and the Scots sent envoys to Cymru, hoping to secure aid against their common enemies. Her country in ruins, her fighting men few, Fiona McCurragh nonetheless finds courage as the Lowlanders return from Cymru. As winter thaws into spring, the Danes renew their hunt for the Scottish princess, nearly discovering her and the Scots' newfound Cymreig allies. The Scots, forced to play their hand, retaliate by launching their third war against their invaders. Yet the elder son of Chieftain McCladden and Fiona McCurragh soon realise that not all battles are won with men and spears; some are of the heart. In an unforeseen act of treachery, Fiona is captured and held prisoner at Caerloch Castle, awaiting torture and execution. Meanwhile, the Lowlanders and the Cymry find themselves faced by Lady Nuith's innumerable hosts and beyond the reach of the silent Highlanders. Torn between surrender or death, honouring their oaths may be the Scots' final defence. --- **Highest ranking: #47 in Historical Fiction 12/17/2021** © Cheyenne van Langevelde 2024.

For seventeen years, Caerelia Ibormeith's mother gave her a nightly tincture of valerian, meant to keep her from dreaming of the dangerous and enchanting Mac Ind Óc. On her eighteenth birthday, the day of her engagement to the handsome but uninspiring Count Merrick, Caer stops taking the potion and begins dreaming of a mysterious man she calls Aisling. A year later, on her wedding day, Aisling arrives in a storm of ice and destiny, leading Caer to Loch Bel Dracon. When she drowns and awakens in Tir na nÓg, the realm of gods and legends, she finds herself in the hands of Aisling who she soon discovers to be Aengus Óg, the god of love and son of the Dagda. But this is no simple romance. Caer becomes entangled with Lugh, the brooding God of Sun, who is determined to return her to Earth as his outward hatred for Earthlings complicates her stay at Court Nuada. As the gods' world tightens around her, Caer must navigate love, jealousy, and dangerous divine politics, all while coping with her new form: half woman, half swan. With only three months until her wedding to Aisling, Caer begins the rigorous and mysterious lessons of godly matrimony under Macha, the fierce goddess of war, who becomes her unexpected ally. But everything shifts when Caer uncovers Aisling's far darker intentions, realizing that survival, not love, may be her only path to freedom. This steamy retelling of the Irish legend of Aengus Og and Caer Ibormeith is based on the dialect and 19th century vibe of Pride and Prejudice wih description heavy action in the first chapters.
