The Heather and the Blade

IN STRUGGLE WAS BORN THEIR PASSION. IN SURRENDER THEIR LOVE.

Spirited Laurie Campbell was a pawn of peace -- married into the traitorous MacDonald clan to end an ancient feud. Proud and defiant, she boldly challenged the mocking eyes of her new husband, Callum MacDonald, whose contemptuous words gave no quartet: His choice had been marriage to a Campbell or the gallows -- the first only a slightly lesser evil.

But theirs was a land darkened by strife, where nothing was sacred -- not Scotland -- not their families -- not their, hearts. For as the fires of treachery and betrayal blazed across the Highlands, a wilder fury raged in their souls -- first in burning hatred...then in all-consuming love.
