Overview
What happens when long buried secrets are brought to light?Bronwyn longs to learn about her true past is before she can find peace with her Caledonii clan. But will that truth be too much to bear? And what will happen to Cuinn when he learns the truth as well? Bronwyn Blogh is the lone adopted daughter of the mighty Chieftain Ru of the Highland Caledoniis. Her differences, however, have become too much for her to bear. She's the tiny, dark-eyed sister, and though she is beloved, called Ru's gift by her family, she knows she's different. Her history and where she came from is a secret in her clan. And no one in her village can tell her the truth of her past. Cuinn Càidh was but a lad when he discovered a baby left in a field. Against his father's better judgment, they brought the babe home. Cuinn believed he'd be the baby's champion - instead he is told to forget he ever found her. That doesn't mean he listened. He may be loyal to his father and chieftain, but he's also loyal to the lads he found, even he must hide that loyalty. When Bronwyn decides it's time to find out about her past, her father demands that the now skilled warrior Cuinn join her - both as a guide and as a protector. Cuinn seems to hate her, and Bronwyn dreads this journey of discovery. As they search out Bronwyn's past, Cuinn reveals what her tribe has hidden from her, and when they encounter their sinister allies, the Decantae tribe, Bronwyn slowly learns why her past was hidden from her. She also learns that Cuinn's behavior was not borne of hatred, but of something much deeper. Their passion for each other is shocking and consuming. As they start to unravel the truth behind Bronwyn's past, Cuinn must sacrifice himself to protect Bronwyn, and she decides that her past, her freedom, isn't worth his life. Will they return to their village with their love, and lives intact? Or will the chaos of Bronwyn's past rip them apart?
