"beguiling Highland romantic fantasy"
In 1296 King Edward is frustrated and irate with the
MacShane sisters who have eluded his demands for them to
marry. Since they will not obey their monarch he sends his
most trustworthy "dragons" to the Sacred Mists of Glen
Shane hidden in the Scotland Highlands. Julian the Black
Dragon and his two brothers, Sir Guillaume and Sir Simon,
are bone weary after years of seemingly non-stop fighting.
Each seeks domestic tranquility and serenity but know that
filling Edward's coffers will never end so they willingly
accept his Highness' offer to wed the MacShane siblings. Edward assigns Sir Julian to wed Tamlyn and take charge of
her estate Glenrogha. Though she loathes Edward and would
cherish saying no to his agent, Tamlyn has the gift and
realizes she and Julian are tied together and besides she
saw what he saw at the bloody battle of Berwyn. She
acquiesces to Julian's demands for the sake of her people,
but he soon realizes that is not enough at least for him.
He needs her as his loving wife and partner sharing the
bond of dragonmasters. A RESTLESS KNIGHT is a beguiling Highland romantic fantasy.
The storyline uses fae magical elements to enhance the
strong historical plot. Her touch enables Tamlyn to see the
horror that eats at her soulmate's heart and consequently
hers. Still this bewitching protagonist knows she must keep
her people's welfare first before any personal happiness.
Fans will enjoy this delightful pairing of two spirited
dragons whose love for one another refreshes the Scottish
Highland historical romantic landscape. Harriet Klausner
