Holding the throne just got complicated. Because Archie isn’t just a little boy, he’s a bloodline, meant to be a king.

And the kingdom demands to be reckoned with.

And everyone is fighting for power.

I began walking backwards, nae paying attention tae where I was going, but instead watching the castle,

and up on the walls,

the figure of Kaitlyn,

too far away tae hear,

her arm up in a wave,

I waved back

and then, still walking backward, I threw my arms out wide.

I dinna need tae concentrate on the future, the story was unfolding behind me, and now twas written on the sky — beyond the castle a giant storm was growing, big and dark and oppressive, lightning sparked the ground, thunder shook the earth, the clouds built tae the sky.

I smiled.

“Good.” I said, “This means Lady Mairead has arrived tae join the discussion. This should be fun.”

A sweeping story, taking Magnus and Kaitlyn from the kingdom in the future, to discovering long-held family secrets from the past. From before the vessels, and the beginnings of Balloch castle, to Linlithgow Palace and a summer with Marie of Guise, to finally learning of a deep despairing betrayal. One they may never be able to forgive, except they may have to… family has to stick together.

This new installment is the most exciting so far, the romance deeper, the history bigger, the conflicts more dangerous.
