From birth, Catriona Campbell and Alasdair Og MacDonald are enemies—for he is the second son of her clan’s most powerful foe. Yet from the moment they meet, they know they will lie in each other’s arms someday.

For rebellion has been stirring, and under the orders of King William III, a bloody price will be paid at Glencoe . . . This “stirring” love story set against the backdrop of a notorious massacre is “well worth a Highland journey” (Kirkus Reviews). “Roberson’s world of 17th-century Scotland is atmospherically real.” —Publishers Weekly

Book excerpt: "In 1693 Scotland, the sacred life-style of honor above all else is in jeopardy due to a monstrous treachery. MacIaian MacDonald hosted and feted Robert Campbell, but that same night, Robert's men attacked and killed most of the MacDonald clan. The small number who survived owed their very existence to the few Campbell men who still held honor as a lofty trait. Niall MacDonald has become a chieftain due to the nefarious incident and like the other survivors of his clan seeks revenge. He is too smart to openly defy the powerful Campbells, so he and his men abduct Meg and Elizabeth Campbell to hold as hostages. In spite of a bloody family feud that threatens to engulf them because they, by their births, are on separate sides, still fall in love with each other. However, in seventeenth century Scotland, love is an expensive emotion that cannot survive the feuding"--Amazon.com.

Book excerpt: In 1876, they wipe out General George A. Custer and his 7th Cavalry at the Battle of the Little Bighorn. Chief Sitting Bull and his Sioux people then flee from the United States to Canada. There, in the autumn of 1877, the Sioux are joined by the remnants of the latest Indian nation to make a stand against the US Army, the Nez Perce. Their survivors are led by Chief White Bird. A young man follows White Bird to Sitting Bull's camp. He is White Bird's close relative and aims to tell the story of the Nez Perce War from the Nez Perce point of view. This young man's name is Duncan McDonald.

Written with the help of Duncan McDonald's present-day kinsfolk on the Flathead Indian Reservation in Western Montana, this real-life family saga spans two continents and more than thirty generations to link Scotland's clans with the native peoples of the American West.

Book excerpt: The story of the Massacre of Glencoe in 1692 is still widely told around the Highlands of Scotland. The Campbell Dragoons came, asking for shelter from the Glencoe MacDonalds. They were fed and housed for two weeks before they arose one night and butchered their hosts in their beds. Anna takes her two small sons to a cottage in Glencoe for the summer. She meets Calum, who is dealing with a crazed ex-girlfriend, Helena, but there is something more sinister lurking around Anna's cottage. Her six-year-old son is talking to ghosts and Anna is having violent dreams, reliving the night of the massacre as Kirstin MacDonald, who died horribly from frostbite, screaming for her missing son, two weeks after the massacre. With the help of an eccentric local historian and his sidekick, they try to save Anna's son from Kirstin's ghost, but things are not what they seem.

Download or read book Caledonia s Last Stand written by Nat Edwards and published by Luath Press Ltd. This book was released on 2007 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history alone could not explain the colonys disastrous outcome; you really had to stand on the shore of Punta Escoces to realize that the Scots were bound to disaster the moment they chose the site to bear the name Caledonia. The bay was a beautiful, deadly trap. On 2 November 1698 a fleet landed on the Isthmus of Darien to create a colony and launch a new Scottish trading empire. Eighteen months later, the colony had seen the loss of ten ships, almost 400,000 and the lives of 2,000 souls. Nat Edwards invites himself to Panama, the real-life setting for an almost unbelievable 17th century expedition of Scottish hope and adventure. His erratic odyssey to find the lost graves of the Scots settlers neatly blends pirates, street riots, treasure hunters, indigenous peoples and killer bees, with the astonishing facts he sets out with. Nats discoveries are often frustrating, occasionally freakish, but always fascinating.
