Product Description
Years ago, when Young Earl Osbert of Castle Athlin was a boy, his father was ambused and slain by Baron Malcolm of Dunbayne. Now Osbert has come into his majority, and in the company of a sturdy and heroic young peasant named Alleyn he's gone to avenge his father's murder. What waits for them at the castle of Dunbayne is not vengeance but a fate that neither one of them imagines: not just conquest or defeat, but a terrible chanllege -- and the romance of a lifetime.
Ingram
Set in the Middle Ages against the melancholy beauty of mountains and rugged coasts of the Scottish Highlands, this book tells the story of the warring clan chieftains of Athlin and Dunbayne, recounting low-born Alleyn's quest for love and honor. One of the earliest Gothic tales, it alternates scenes of passionate feeling with breakneck pursuit.
