Narrado por: William Macleod

An ancient highlander who’s never been allowed to love. A modern woman who keeps men at arm’s length. Can their passion overcome their pasts?

Althea Jarden’s botanical fieldwork keeps her happily busy, but it has kept her from relationships as well - by design. Because deep passions can overwhelm her, she concluded long ago that a conventional life was not for her. She’s learned to depend on herself. But all the self-reliance in the world can’t prepare her for being taken to ancient Scotland and what she finds there.

Chieftain Brennus Skaraven would like nothing better than to remain dead, his legendary clan buried and forgotten. Anything would be preferable to suffering the manipulations of the druids. But when a strange lass comes crashing into his life, he discovers more than a reason to live. He finds the one thing that had always been denied to him and his kind - love.

Can a Highland Warrior find love and save his clan

Hazel Hunter continues her Immortal Highlander Series with the Skaraven clan. She brings a new enemy along with its soldiers to battle these trained from birth warriors who have never been around actual women. The story takes place in 14th century Scotland. The clan must deal with the first woman in their midst along with the enemy. They must work through their prior way of living as start their new lives.

Althea Jarden is a doctor of botany working to find a cure for the infection that killed her beloved uncle who raised her and told that she has a heart of ice. While searching for specific ferns for research she is kidnapped by 2 evil druids and their army of giants along with 4 others and used to go back to 14th century Scotland. As she is being taken she sees a shadow of a man trying to help her. With the help of her fellow kidnap victims she escapes and is about to be captured when some one comes to her aid and when he's overpowered she goes to help him by using the power she didn't realize she had. Brennus takes her back to the keep and the shaman works to heal her. Brennus realizes she's the woman he saw and hasn't been able to forget. He & his clan won't help her at first to save the other women until she makes them realize that they're supposed to protect all people. As Brennus and Althea get closer she learns more about the clan and how they were raised and their ways and works to help them adjust to having a woman around and living their new lives after being resurrected. They plan a mission to rescue the other 4 women from the evil druids and their army. Althea is recaptured and uses her druid power to help Brennus and the clan only to die in the process. Brennus and Althea have fallen in love and he doesn't know what he'll do with out her. He gave her his ring and when it starts to glow he and the clan are thrown back and the spell that brought the Skaraven clan back to life is what bought her back. Meanwhile the druid who wanted their help betrayed them so that they would keep fighting the enemy.

Honestly I was a little lost because I thought that there would be some small connection to the other books in the Immortal series but there was no mention of them. Once I got into the book I was hooked and I look forward to reading the next installment Caderyn. I wonder which of the druidesses will be rescued next. Will the War Master's heart soften more when he finds his own woman to love. I look forward to finding out.

Whoah—you’ll want your own highlander after listening to this

I did read and enjoy this when it came out as an ebook so I thought I’d give the audio a try. The narrator brings the story to life and you’ll want a Brennus of your own. I was surprised that knowing the story I didn’t want to rush through it, but hearing it was almost like reading it from the beginning with new eyes. I was also shocked by how many details I missed (or at least didn’t take note of) when I read it. Well worth a listen if this is a new to you story and maybe even more so if you’ve read the book. Definitely five stars.

Highlander

Ms Hunter is the one author to get people interested in reading this genre. The wait for Brennus's
book to come out was well worth it. There are emotional times but there were some funny moments.
Althea Jarden, a botanist doctor was gathering samples of ferns to find a cure for a disease that killed her Uncle. During her field work, she was kidnapped along with 4 other women by Murdian and Hendry the evil druids and their giants. Chieftain Brennus Skaraven and his clan died in a battle but they were resurrected by Balthair Flen to fight evil druids and the giants. They were strongest warrior clans and now they are also immortal.
Althea with the help of the other women escaped to get help but along the way she was captured. Brennus came to her aid and fought the giants.
Brennus and others from the clan have never been emotionally or physically close to a woman and now they are seeking sexual release. Althea has always shied from relationships but after meeting Brennus she thought he may be able to change her mind. Althea convinced Brennus and his clan to save the other women and during the fight, she was captured again. By the time Brennus got there, it was too late.
I highly recommend this book to a few of my friends that I know like this gene, I can hardly wait for Cadeyrn's story.

William Macleod as the narrator for these stories has been the ultimate choice. He just brings these stories alive.

The Ending

The ending was so beautiful I cried. This was a good read. I was hooked the whole time!

Great Story!!!

Okay. So when I was given this book by request for my unbiased review, I had been under the impression that I'd already read this book since I have read the other time travel books by Hazel Hunter. But I hadn't and it was a pleasant surprise. I was like, hey, I don't remember this happening but then I got all the way drawn into the story and it didn't matter anymore.

I thoroughly enjoyed Ms Hunter's world of druids, skaravens and other clans. How utterly entitled and deranged the villains are in these stories is also very intriguing. I also enjoy reading overreaching plots that unfold throughout several books while not leaving you with an actual cliff hanger.

Great writing and great narration.
