Highlands Stories

HIGHEST RANKING #6 in HISTORICAL FICTION! --- For all her life, Lady Evie Verrick had been regaled of tales of the Highlands from her Highland born and bred mother. She had grown up dreaming of chivalrous knights, sword-fighting, horse back riding. Tales of kin and family, loyalty and the warmth of a home. But being brought up in a traditional English household with a traditional father, her mother was the closest thing to the Highlands she could get. And when her mother died of pneumonia before her coming out, left to her father's care, Evie wants now, more then ever, to see the promised lands that she grew up with. --- Connor Gilroy had served as the first in command to the MacKenzie clan for as long as he could remember. He owed his loyalty to his best friend and brother in arms, Hammond MacKenzie, who had saved him from being skinned alive by English soldiers years ago, before the truce was signed between the two lands. Having no love lost for the country, Hammond would be the only person who could ever convince Connor to step foot back into English lands. His chief had recently received news on the death of the aunt he has never met, but Hammond was a man of his word, and he had promised his father he would care for all kin, regardless of who they were. But Connor never would've imagined that the cousin of his best friend would be a spirit of the flames. The way Evie took on life and all of its problems with a passion that ignited a hearth, would perhaps be the first time someone ever ignited more then just passion and desire within him.

I am Sorcha of the Winter Court. I have been writing since 950 AD. These are those journals. What begins as exile ends as witness. I arrived at a dark stretch of Highland forest in 950 AD with nothing I intended to keep and everything I intended to leave behind. I built a cottage. I watched kingdoms rise and erase everything that came before them. I wrote it down. This is not a history. History is written by the people who won. This is what I saw from the treeline while they were busy winning. Over a thousand years of Highland Scotland told through one voice - the cold, the particular, the precise. Love arrived slowly and without my permission. Loss arrived the same way. Power rewrote itself in every century and called it progress. I noted all of it. I am still writing. These journals begin in 950 AD. They have not ended yet. The Dark Mile Journals is a serialized fantasy told entirely through first person journal entries. New chapters published regularly. Suitable for readers who like their history sharp, their magic older than the stones, and their narrators unreliable only in the ways that matter.
