LETTERS OF FIRE AND SWORD

With LETTERS OF FIRE AND SWORD, Dorothy Wiley has merged Scotland’s gut-wrenching history with extraordinary fiction. In the year of our Lord, 1306, patriots of Scotland, support Robert the Bruce’s fight to free both their conquered country and his family, imprisoned by the English king. Powerful knights like Highlander Sir Alexander MacMillan join the struggle fighting battle after battle for eight long years. All the while, Alexander’s first love, Lady Erca MacNeill, is imprisoned alongside the woman who dared to crown Bruce king of Scotland, Countess Isabella MacDuff. The brutal English king also cruelly imprisons Bruce’s wife, young daughter, and two sisters. To ransom all of them, Bruce and his greatly outnumbered army will have to win one final battle—the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314. They fought like Scotsmen and won their freedom. But that is just the beginning for Sir Alexander and Lady Erca. While she was imprisoned, her castle in the Highlands was seized and her clan viciously murdered. This time, with Alexander’s help, she will join the fight to reclaim what is rightfully hers.

You'll love Wiley’s gripping tale, a gut-wrenching historical romance with realistic depictions of the past, a courageous king and his knights, and women willing to fight for what they cherish. As Wiley demonstrated in her fourteen other highly rated and award-winning novels, her meticulous historical research enriches her writing with a strong sense of time and place. Tastefully romantic, readers also love her courageous, handsome heroes, strong-willed heroines, and breathtaking adventures that transport across time. Inspired by true events and Wiley’s own MacMillan Scots ancestors, this tale will be one you long remember.

FYI, this book is a tastefully written romance with no explicit scenes.
