The Scottish Highlands are burning. The shadows of the past are no longer content to stay buried.
Angus and Jonah, navigate a landscape fractured by ancient feuds and fresh betrayals. When Angus’s path collides with Laird Killian Kincaid, a startling discovery—a pair of identical, ebony-hilted daggers—sparks a chilling realization.
Jonah finds himself face to face with his sister and winds up fighting for his life.
Lairds Nikolaz MacCallum and Broc Buchanan—descend upon the south. They uncover a conspiracy that reaches the very heart of the kingdom.
Final truths collide at the hallowed grounds of the abbey, where hidden chambers finally speak of a betrayal more intimate than any clan war.
As long-held secrets are ripped open and the masks of allies and enemies fall away, the gathering storm breaks in a cacophony of blood spill and tears. Forced onto separate, desperate paths by the heavy price of the truth, their grief forges a new and singular purpose.
More than a saga to me; drew on my experiences of abandonment, craving for safety, the corrosive presence of ppl hiding behind false faces, sociopaths, narcissists, manipulators. I gave a voice thru stone walls & hills. Wrapped in plaid, w/ a dagger to wield. Took betrayal & silence, forged into saga, truths are masked & identities shift.
The plots and subplots are wholly imagined, fueled by my understanding of betrayal, mistrust, and those who are not who they appear to be—until it is too late.
Wrapped my unspoken pain, traumas, emotional truth in tartan and steel, then set it loose
