"Delightful Scottish medieval romance"
In 1390 Michael Lammergeier returns to Inverfyre, Scotland
to fulfill what he believes is his destiny as the Laird,
but an ancient crone stops him insisting he is the
descendent of Magnus Armstrong, but he is also Magnus
Armstrong. She kisses Michael, opening his mind to their
past love seven generations back. However, a member of
his party kills the crone. Just before she dies she tells
him that she loves him and will return, but debts must be
paid. In 1409, Michael now known as the Hawk of Inverfyre needs
a bride. He chooses Aileen of Aberyne because his soul
firmly believes she is his eternal true love. However,
doubts linger about who Aileen is loyal to so though he
tricks her into marriage and though he loves her deeply,
he does not trust her. He wonders if she will help him
fix previous wrongs or sell him and Inverfyre to his
enemies; she struggles with her love for her enigmatic
mate who she would trust with her life, even though he
holds himself back from her. With a pinch of mysticism, THE WARRIOR, the final book of
the Ravensmuir trilogy, is a delightful Scottish medieval
romance. The intrigue of the fifteenth century comes
alive, but also cleverly blends into a charming forever
love subplot. The son of the book's two heroes (see THE
SCOUNDREL) Michael is a captivating character struggling
between love and uncertainty while Aileen is the ideal
complement to his "split personality". Historical romance
readers will enjoy this fabulous novel that provides a
terrific end to a strong series. Harriet Klausner
