Set
in 1349, this is the story of Tristan MacPherson, a Highlander who is skilled
at killing for money. He never misses his target and is, thus, feared by all.
With the plague that he does not fear comes a lass near death he saves. And Lady
Rose Callanach will change his life.
When her mother died in an intentionally set fire, Rose’s father shuts her away where guards protect her. Until, years later, her father allows her to go with her uncle to spend the winter with her cousin. It is on that trip she contracts the plague.
Quinn
adds humor to an otherwise somber story and the dialog between Rose and Tristan
is endearing. For much of the book, it’s just those two traveling together but
it’s a rich banquet of banter as they fall in love. How could you not love
Tristan? A killer who is honorable and humble. And the scenes of Tristan’s
doing his killing business are very well described. There’s a twist in the end
you will not expect. Very well done!
