THE BLOG CONTEST IS OVER. CONGRATS TO ANNE DORTHE WHO WON A COPY OF FORGED BY DREAMS AND MAGICK!!
The Book:
Isobel MacInnes wakes up in present-day California, lunches in medieval
Scotland, and by ten days’ end, falls in love with a man and his country, only
to lose them in a heart-wrenching twist of fate . . .
Found in the arms of her second soul mate . . .
Forced to balance the delicate strands of time
between two millennia . . .
Shocked by revelations rewriting the very
foundations of history . . . of
everything.
Isobel, a rising-star archaeology student, is dropped into two ancient
worlds without warning . . . or her permission. Her fiery spirit
resists the dependency thrust upon her. Amid frustration at her lack of
control, she helplessly falls in love. Twice.
She struggles to adjust to the unimaginable demands of two leaders of
men—a laird in the thirteenth-century Highlands and a Pict chieftain in a more
ancient Scotland. Isobel transforms from an academic, hell-bent on obtaining
archaeological recognition, to a woman striving to care for those she loves,
and ultimately . . . into a fearless warrior risking everything to
protect them.
Our Heroes in Forged by Dreams and
Magick:
Iain Brodie
~ No ordinary Highland laird, the towering hazel-eyed, chestnut-haired warrior
exhibits a blend of twenty-first-century and thirteenth-century wisdom, wit,
and charm. A strategist in politics, war, and family, he loves Isobel with
unparalleled passion, fearlessly expressing the depth and strength of his
emotions.
Alpha-male Iain has grown accustomed to
getting what he wants, therefore her struggles greatly with the circumstances
surrounding Isobel’s time travel, including the reluctant acceptance of having
to share his woman with another man. His difficult transformation from
overbearing to understanding, and ultimately needing to make Isobel whole,
helps us fall in love with him.
Unknown Fact: Iain first appeared in the
modern-day Highlands at age five wearing only the Brodie clan plaid and his
mother’s brooch. He was immediately adopted by an older Highland couple with no
children of their own. They celebrated the day as his only birthday, which kept
his memories of early childhood vivid. Until Iain’s return back in time with
Isobel, modern-day Iain visited their graves every “birthday” to pay tribute to
those he’d gained and those he’d lost.
Velloc ~ The
sleekly built, dark-featured, blue-tattooed Pict chieftain takes what he wants,
primal need and inherent right governing his actions. However, fierce emotion
and philosophical logic rule the man beneath, capturing Isobel’s heart before
she has a chance to safeguard it.
Attuned to his animal nature and living in
harmony with the environment, Velloc is the perfect instructor on Pict
traditions. His open-mindedness enables Isobel’s quick assimilation into their
culture and language. Impressed by her unrelenting determination, he grants her
unusual request for warrior training. But when the unexpected time comes to let
her go, his possessiveness threatens to overtake his generosity.
Unknown
Fact: When Velloc reveals to Isobel the loss of his first mate, he chooses not
to explain the circumstances of the tragedy: that she died during childbirth
along with their first child, a son. Isobel is his second chance at love and
family, a bright future for a chieftain and his tribe.
