"A good end to this historical romantic fantasy series"
He is a man from another time and another place but fairy
magic brought Dylan Matheson to Ciorran in the Scottish
Highlands decades before the final Jacobite defeat at
Culloden. He fell in love with the laird's daughter and
after much hardship and many adventures, he married her.
Their union produced two children before his precious Cait
was murdered by her abusive first spouse. Dylan has come to realize his home is with Clan Ciorran
and
he doesn't even want the fairy Sinann to try to return him
to his own time. This is just as well because the
bumbling
fairy believes Dylan is the only one who can prepare the
clan for the hard times ahead. Before Dylan can deal with
his enemies (both English and Scottish) he must first
defeat
Morrighan, the Celtic goddess of war who wants to know the
future and will use any means at her disposal to force
Dylan
into giving up that information. Cross Sharon Kay Penman with Mercedes Lackey and Judith
Tarr
and readers will understand that the novel SWORD OF KING
JAMES is historical romantic fantasy at it's very best.
Hearts will go out to the beleaguered hero who still
mourns
his true love while trying to move the clan in the
direction
he wants it to go. J. Adrian Lee has created something
wondrous with this haunting novel. Harriet Klausner
