A Highland tale of mystery, murder and love.
Forced to wed a ruthless English Lord, Adelyn Scott welcomed death over marriage, but had no idea her wish would come true until she discovered her husband’s body lying dead in his chamber on the night of their wedding.
As commander for the king’s personal guard, Eamon MacLeish’s loyalty has never been questioned. Until the day a mysterious woman arrived seeking an asylum and stole his heart.
As Adelyn and Eamon piece together clues surrounding her husband’s murder, Eamon must choose between his loyalty or his heart. For one path would ultimately lead to her death, and the other path leads to his.
Heart of the Highlands: The Raven is the prequel to the Protectors of the Crown Series.
Uncaged Review: The first book in the Protectors of the Crown series revolves around Adelyn and Eamon. Adelyn escapes her castle after her forced marriage to an English Lord who is found dead and her accused of his murder. Being a cousin the King James, she steals a horse and races across the border to Jame’s castle for asylum. One of King James’ most trusted men, Eamon, gives Adelyn his protection and sends trusted men to search for the truth. All is going well until Adelyn is kidnapped by her dead husband’s men, then all loyalties and friendships will be tested…
This book has danger, romance and a mystery woven into a medieval tale worth reading. Adelyn is a strong character in a time where women had no rights, and Eamon’s honor is second to none. This is a good medieval romance that will keep the reader entranced until the end. Reviewed by Cyrene
