Perfect for you if...

You enjoy historical romance set in medieval Scotland with protagonists who are genuinely wounded by their circumstances rather than just brooding.
You appreciate slow-burn romance where the emotional stakes feel real because both characters have something to lose.
You like stories where women have agency and personality that doesn't match court expectations, especially when paired with a competent male lead.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer fast-paced plots over deep character exploration and emotional healing arcs.
You want your historical fiction to prioritise political intrigue and battle sequences over intimate relationship development.
You're looking for a story without heavy themes of trauma, loss, or spiritual wounding.

About this book

Scotland, 1072. Steinar of Talisand flees to Scotland after the Norman Conqueror strips him of his father and lands. While recovering from a serious wound, he becomes scribe to the King of Scots and secretly practices swordcraft to regain his skill. At court, Steinar meets Catrìona of the Vale of Leven, a flame-haired woman unlike the other ladies in service to the queen. She is spirited, uninterested in piety or needlework, and flies a falcon. Catrìona arrived at Malcolm's court wounded in spirit after Northmen attacked her home, killing her parents and people. When the king promises Catrìona to one of his favored warriors, she finds herself torn between duty and her heart, which belongs to the lowly scribe. As circumstances unravel, both face questions of whether love can survive, whether broken hearts can mend, and whether damaged souls can heal. Gold Medal Winner, 2017 Illumination Awards.
