Donald:
Sons of Sagamore
The Pirates of Britannia Connected World
He surrendered his heart
and would give his life for her to succeed.
Andrea Ricard, an inquisitive scholar
of antiquities travels with her uncle to help him with his trade business. When
she finds her mother’s family name on a piece of a map associated with the
location of a rare relic, she is compelled to find it. Nothing will get in her
way to unearth its secrets.
Donald MacDougall Tyler Eden has
enjoyed carefree life, but over the last year he has found satisfaction working
with his brother Hugh, who has a successful investment business. He has forged
a close relationship with one of their business partners, Andrea’s uncle. On a
visit to Hugh, Donald meets Andrea and is smitten. When Andrea finds that an
antique in Hugh’s collection contains another piece to her mysterious map she
is more determined than ever to find the relic. Donald is drawn into her
adventure and volunteers to accompany her on her quest.
Andrea has only told Donald
half-truths for fear he would not join her. The relic is surrounded by mystery
and prophecy. A disgraced soldier with hopes of repairing his relationship with
the king has found out about the relic and is just as determined as Andrea to
secure it for himself.
Andrea and Donald’s belief in what’s
right as well as each other will be tested on a journey filled with adventure
and hardships as they race across the vineyards of the Champagne region in
France, up the east coast of England to an ancient church in Bamburgh.
Can Andrea and
her MacDougall warrior resolve the mystery, face the prophecy,
vanquish the villain… and find their happily ever after.

Snippet
The
MacDougall warrior raised his sword up high. “Victory or death!” He yelled the ancient
battle cry. It echoed through the cavern.
The
battle cry set the berserker free. The warrior tested the weight of the ancient
sword as he stalked his prey and prepared to fight.
Davenport
came at him. Donald didn’t move. With a swipe of his sword he knocked the
weapon away nicking the blade badly. The warrior kept advancing. He stared into
Davenport’s eyes and saw his confidence begin to crumble.
Stroke
after stroke the warrior attacked driving his enemy back. His sword rang loud
promising justice. They battled to the opening of the cave until the villain
ran out of ground.
His
feet began to slip on the loose rocks at the rim of the entrance. Stones
clattered over the side landing against the boulders that were strewn on the
beach.
