Yet he is powerfully attracted to Alainna—a stone carver of mystical talent—whose pride and passion more than match his own.But a local legend predicts disaster as time grows short—unless the warrior and the maiden can conquer stubborn pride and give in to the power of love.REVIEWS:“King strongly draws readers into the plot and her characters' lives.” ~Publishers Weekly“Exhilarating… Demonstrates why fans and critics cherish her novels.” ~Affaire de Coeur“Filled with excitement.” ~Midwest Book Reviews “Every part blends seamlessly… I could feel the mist and smell the heather.” ~LaurieLikesBooks.comTHE CELTIC NIGHTS, in series order The Stone MaidenThe Swan MaidenThe Sword MaidenLaird of the WindTHE BORDER ROGUES, in series orderThe Raven's WishThe Raven's MoonThe Heather MoonOTHER TITLES by Susan KingThe Black Thorne's Rose
