A nation trembles. Valor endures.
Book Two in the Thistle & Sword Trilogy
Scotland, 1296
In the shadowed glens of Perthshire, Edyth Ruthven finds herself a stranger in her own home. As the new lady of the household, her welcome is colder than the Highland winds-scorned by her husband's kin and haunted by whispers of her past. But Edyth carries more than secrets; her dreams are dark prophecies, warning of bloodshed on the horizon.
When her beloved sister-in-law, Caitriona, is bound to a brutal political marriage, Edyth must confront the hard truths of a fractured land and a people on the brink of war. Meanwhile, her husband, Ewan, is torn between sworn duty to Scotland and the rising pressure to serve the English crown. As a corrupt sheriff takes control of their lands, the Ruthvens are thrust into a storm of betrayal, violence, and impossible choices.
To survive, Edyth and Ewan must fight not only for their family-but for the soul of a nation.
