The Night Side

An Unwelcome Visitor

A ghostly hound stalks Noltland Castle. For years, such appearances have signaled doom for the clan Balfour, and there is little reason to believe this time will be any different. Wasn't their laird cut down while defending the Scottish king, leaving a boy to take a man's place?

Frances Balfour has done all she can, using guts and guile to keep her cousin safe in his new lairdship, but enemies encroach from all sides, and now the secluded isle of Orkney is beset from within. A stranger has arrived, and his green gaze promises to strip every secret bare. The newcomer is a swordsman, a seducer and a sometimes spy for the English king, but for all that, he seems a friend. And Colin Mortlock can see into the Night Side, that spectral world between life and death. He shall be the destruction of all Frances loves--or her salvation.
