In Son of the Sword , J. Ardian Lee transported us to a land of unsurpassed beauty-at a time when its people faced their darkest hour. Now, in Outlaw Sword , we return with modern-day Dylan Matheson to eighteenth-century Scotland-where he is a hunted outlaw-as he faces every mortal danger to reunite with his true love and save his newborn son from the dark fate history has in store for him.

When he met the laird's daughter, Cait, Dylan Matheson found something to fight and live for in 18th-century Scotland that he hadn't found in the 21st. But then Cait was murdered, leaving him to raise their two children alone and live a quiet life as a farmer. But now, Dylan must once again take up arms against the hated British-unaware that he's being manipulated by Morrighan, the goddess of war, who wants to change the course of history...

Inheriting the lordship of the Ciorram Clan upon the death of his father, Dylan, Ciaran Matheson is warned by an old friend, the fairie Sinnan, that the planned Scottish uprising against the British is destined to fail and confronts a difficult--and dangerous--choice. Reprint.
