A Midwinter
celebration and magic. They seem to go together quite well. While Patrick and
Gwen work through their differences and love, the celebration speaks of unity
and peace.
Snippet:
Angus
leveled a hard gaze at Patrick. “When we leave come spring, Urquhart shall be
placed in the care of King William. I expect those bordering our lands to
assist our king in all matters. I ken some have heard the whispers, but I
received a missive this morning from the king. He has accepted my proposal to
see Urquhart remain with those loyal to the Scottish crown.”
Patrick
gripped his mug, stunned with this new declaration. He understood the Dragon
Knights needed to retreat, given their magical powers and the spreading of the
new religion across the lands, but to have the king nearby would result in
Leòmhann becoming a stronghold in defense. More reason for King John to
invade our lands.
Angus
returned his attention to the druid. “I ask for your blessing over us.”
Smiling,
Cathal stepped around the Dragon Knight and placed the log inside the hearth.
He drew forth from the folds of his robe a small piece of wood. He waved it
high in the air, and the bit of wood sparked into flames. After tossing the
burning piece onto the Yule log, he turned and faced the Dragon Knights.
The
children gasped in delight.

WEAVE A HIGHLAND TAPESTRY by Mary Morgan
Patrick
MacFhearguis, hardened by battles won and lost, desires what he can never
have—peace within his heart and soul. Yet, the ever-meddling Fae weave a
new journey for him to conquer—a task this highlander is determined to resist.
When
skilled weaver, Gwen Hywel, is commissioned to create a tapestry for the
MacFhearguis clan, she embraces the assignment. While seeking out ideas, she
finds herself clutching the one thread that can alter the tapestry of her life
and heart.
A man
conflicted by past deeds. A woman with no family of her own. Is it possible for
love to unravel an ancient past, in order to claim two badly scarred hearts? Or
will the light of hope be doused forever?
