This book surrounds clan wars between Clan MacDonald and Clan Campbell, the big issue is that Rory Campbell and Joneta MacDonald are hopelessly in love. Plus the fact Joneta is supposed to consider a betrothal to childhood friend Zebulon (Zeb) Keene. However her father had promised she could choose her own husband plus she did not love Zeb. However Rory and Joneta fell madly in love very fast and quickly. They knew each of them completed each other. Now this couple has had to face many obstacles they had to jump over-except now Rory is accused of murdering Joneta’s kin at the Glencoe massacre!
Joneta’s brother beats a defenseless Rory which causes his abusive father to beat and exile Rory from his clan. Therefore he joins the army to learn a living for a better future for these star crossed lovers. Rory and Joneta do secretly marry, but Rory discovers her clan is going to be murdered! Rory tries to tell others to get help and try to stop this devastation, but it is too-little too-late. He is now accused of being a traitor and set to hang for all these crimes he never committed to set an example by the King. Will Rory be saved? Will Joneta believe he did not annihilate her clan? Can their love survive all this heartbreak and death?
Read and find out in this exhilarating, action packed, fast paced, page turner, that is a definite emotional heartstring puller! A book filled with multi dimensional characters and detailed storylines that will make readers weep.
On top of that, this author’s research was top notch in my opinion. Ms. Furlong weaved a lot of true historical facts during the Glencoe massacre including some famous real people during this time in history which I also loved being a huge Scottish history fan. It is a book that will touch your soul and live forever in your heart! Readers will definitely need some tissues or a handkerchief for this emotional awe-inspiring read! This is my first book by this author but I definitely look forward to reading more books by Susan Leigh Furlong! As I found this book absolutely brilliant. I was not a big fan of the epilogue as I like my hero and heroine to live forever. That is a personal choice however I still feel this book deserves a 5 star rating.
