About this ebook

Falsely accused of being a witch.

Betrayed by villagers whose lives she had saved.

Sorcha has no choice but to run for her life...

When a mother and newborn die under her care, Sorcha McLeod is forced to flee with her childhood friend, Dermid Mackenzie, who rescues her from a frenzied mob of torch-bearing villagers.

Thanks to ugly rumors that have been spread about her, Sorcha realizes in despair that she has no chance of going back home to clear her name. But that fades into insignificance when she discovers that she and Dermid will not be able to find a safe harbor anywhere in Scotland. The fear of witches and witchcraft is too deeply entrenched throughout the land...

The pair keep running, and things get worse. When pretending to curse their hunters to effect to escape when they are cornered, Sorcha merely confirms what everyone now thinks of her.

All she ever wanted to do was to be a healer like her mother Maura, and work with the magic she feels flowing through her veins to help those who need her—mothers, babes, injured warriors, and sick villagers.

Instead, Sorcha and Dermid are forced to make their way even deeper into the wilds of Scotland, daring to trust no-one....

About the author

The world of medieval Scotland in the rugged Highlands has always appealed to Fiona. Many years ago she stayed up late reading Diana Gabaldon’s CROSS STITCH, and of course, years later, when it made it to the small screen as OUTLANDER she had to watch that too! Since the publication of the adventures of Claire and Jamie in CROSS STITCH, there have been many other great authors who also love to write about Highlanders and their lives. Fiona has read many of those stories, but most of all, she likes creating her own. Fiona says: “If you delve into history you’ll find that life in medieval Scotland was very hard, and some of the most wonderful people met with a terrible fate. I like to explore ‘what might have been’ in my books - both romantically and in the many skirmishes that took place! I happily create strong heroines and stalwart heroes, and try to give them a happy ending—but they may suffer greatly getting there!”
