Like the wind, the bold Norseman Michael Langssonn sweeps down from the north --- to punish the Scottish laird who dishonored Michael's family. However, duty and desire demand he briefly forgo his vengeful mission in order to rescue a beautiful maiden in peril. She is Cait nea Sholto, a captive bard of beleaguered Glenmuir --- an exquisite prize Michael purchases to grace his bed. But it is proud and sensuous Cait's fiery spirit and soft seductions that will ultimately conquer the handsome stranger's reluctant heart --- embroiling Michael in an endangered people's fight for freedom . . . and carrying the magnificent Norse warrior to heights of passionate ecstasy more breathtaking than the towering peaks of the Highland hills.
