If her cruel and domineering father were to be believed, Kali Bane is the worst of women. Defiant. Independent. Were it not for her beloved younger sisters, she would have sought her freedom long ago. When she refuses to wed an old, wine-soaked English lord, her father bans her to the McKay clan in the Highlands, warning them that she’s a witch.
There is no welcome at the McKay castle—only an aging laird prone to fits of temper who believes that Kali is, in fact, a witch. A sorceress. Here she is little more than a hostage, kept from sight from almost all but Adam McKay, the laird’s son, whose hypnotic green eyes make her long for something forbidden. It’s almost enough to make her abandon all thoughts of escape.
Kali is the only one who can protect her sisters from their father’s greedy machinations. But the longer she remains imprisoned in the McKay tower, the more Kali and Adam realize there are other forces at play. They’re both pieces in a silent, terrible game that could destroy everyone they’ve ever loved…including each other.
My Review
This book moves at a quicker pace so they fall in love faster than most but I didn't mind that. I love that this is set in historical Scotland. The fathers are pretty villainy but I like that she wasn't afraid to confront her father and that Adam was able to get the support of his people to do what he does.
I can't wait to see what else this series has in store.
Kali Bane refuses to marry the old drunk English lord her cruel father has chosen for her. She would have fled his clutches a long time ago but the need to protect her sisters has kept her there. To punish her he bans her to the McKay clan in the highlands, alerting them that she's a witch.
The old laird of the McKay clan believes the lies her father has told him. He resolves to keep her out of sight from most. She interacts with her maid and Adam McKay, the laird's son. He's very handsome but not enough to make her abandon her thoughts of escape.
The longer she remains imprisoned in the McKay tower, the clearer it becomes that she's falling for Adam. But outside forces are working to destroy their budding relationship and the people they love.
Thank you so much to the author, Entangled Publishing and NetGalley for this ARC to review.
