The Highlander's Brave Maid
Bu e-kitab haqqında
He sets off to find them, not knowing whether he’ll be rescuing or bringing him their bodies—with his fey sister Isobel’s whispered parting words echoing in his brain: “Gavin, you must trust only a lass who is marked in scarlet, with hair like a lad…”
He finally arrives at the Menzies Keep, knowing that he must keep his wits about him with these known traitors, or he will be despatched as speedily as his lost parents.
But he finds an unexpected ally: the girl spoken of by his wee sister Isobel. Firtha, a lowly maid in the keep, is treated worse than the curs that scrounge around the muddy yard. But she is brave, and resourceful, and eager to help the son of Lady Hay, who was so kind to her.
But life in the Highlands is not easy, especially for a King’s spy. Gavin has to call upon all his strength and cunning to face his enemies and to find out the fate of his parents.
And Firtha? Dare she dream that one day she might be more than a maid to Gavin Hay?

The world of medieval Scotland in the rugged Highlands has always appealed to Fiona. Many years ago she stayed up late reading Diana Gabaldon’s CROSS STITCH, and of course, years later, when it made it to the small screen as OUTLANDER she had to watch that too! Since the publication of the adventures of Claire and Jamie in CROSS STITCH, there have been many other great authors who also love to write about Highlanders and their lives. Fiona has read many of those stories, but most of all, she likes creating her own. Fiona says: “If you delve into history you’ll find that life in medieval Scotland was very hard, and some of the most wonderful people met with a terrible fate. I like to explore ‘what might have been’ in my books - both romantically and in the many skirmishes that took place! I happily create strong heroines and stalwart heroes, and try to give them a happy ending—but they may suffer greatly getting there!”
