How much betrayal can a heart stand before it shatters?

Shaken by Gregor’s news and ominous tidings, Isla tries to reason with the old man and avert another catastrophe among the clans. This time Arran is by her side, supporting her claims and vouching for her clan’s good intentions and honor. Gregor may seem appeased, but his troublesome claims are only the beginning…

Hoping to form a strong, peaceful alliance, Isla and Arran are headed to clan Duncan, without much hope to earn the favor of their cold, dour Laird. But when they are attacked on the road by a group of bandits bearing the same, blue-arrowed messengers of death, the young Lairds know that someone is hot on their tracks and will stop at nothing until they are both slain.

When tragedy plagues their clans once again as they both lose the last people they thought they could trust, the mystery around the attacks across the clans thickens. Arran and Isla share but a single moment of peace to process the budding tension between them before rivalry draws its poisonous claws on the relationship they have been building on trust and sacrifice.

With her one and only friend of many years lost, and Arran still haunted by Lissa’s ghost, Isla feels her power as a she-Laird dwindling. How can she trust Arran when she sees the false claims against her taking root in his heart? With her position in the clan threatened by the lack of faith the MacDonald people show in her, the unresolved conundrum of her father’s death, and the clan wars reaching her doorstep, Isla fears the answer may be the one she has been dreading all along: she is to face the lion’s mouth alone.

Don’t miss the second book in the new series from an exciting new voice in Historical Scottish Medieval Romance.

Perfect for fans of Tanya Anne Crosby and Kathryn Le Veque.
