800 years ago in a medieval Scotland not too different from ours... Lady Alina Kerr, an orphaned soothsayer, must marry to protect her clan but she'd rather return to her abbey. When she foresees a horde of northern invaders descend on her glen, she worries she's tarried too long in settling on a husband. Magnus Sinclair sailed to the lowlands pursuing his sister's abductor. He intended to return to the highlands to resume his role as his clan's best warrior. But something about the lady behind the walls of her clifftop castle beckoned him. They discover an otherworldly passion with each other but the future holds secrets that threaten their new love and, perhaps, Alina's very life. Will their bond be strong enough to see them through?
