“Historical fiction at its very finest!” ~ Readers’ Favorite

In the late 14th century, the Kingdom of the Isles was under assault from the ambitious Albany Stewarts, who were taking advantage of Scotland’s empty throne to increase their power. Jealous of the Macdonald lordship to the west, the ruthless Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany, thwarted Donald of Islay, Lord of the Isles, at every turn.

A man of keen intelligence, strategy and faith, educated at Oxford and a frequent guest of England’s kings, Lord Donald did not intend to allow a traitorous royal thug to rob him of his legacy. The Earldom of Ross was the buffer he needed to keep the Isles safe. Not unmindful of all that was at stake, he took as his bride Lady Mariota, heiress to the Earldom of Ross.

What he could not achieve through diplomacy or marriage, Donald was prepared to claim by right of the sword. In the greatest battle Scotland has ever seen, he would demonstrate the power of the Isles to become the Hero of Harlaw.

Wonderful

This latest book is once again a wonderful history lesson wrapped around the characters, brought to life by the deep knowledge that Ms. Walker has of her subject . With reality based stories that are covered in hours and days of research, she makes us look forward to the next one.
This book being produced with virtual voice was not as jarring as some I have heard. The facts and war descriptions helped to make this story work well and ending up enjoyable.
