Magnar
The
Wolves of Clan Sutherland Book 1
by
Mary Morgan
Genre:
Historical Paranormal Romance
Known as the
Barbarian, Magnar MacAlpin is a fierce ruler for those under his
command. As leader of the Wolves of Clan Sutherland, his loyalty and
obedience lies with Scotland. However, the king’s last demand is
not something Magnar will tolerate.
After Elspeth Gunn’s
brother the Chieftain of Castle Steinn is murdered, she flees with
her nephew, and finds safety amongst a band of men who are rumored to
be part wolf. When the king forces her to wed a heathen Northman, she
fears losing her heart and soul not only to the man, but the beast as
well.
In order to restore
peace to a shattered clan, Magnar and Elspeth travel a treacherous
path that challenges their beliefs. When evil seeks to destroy
ancient traditions, will Magnar be compelled to restrain his wolf or
allow him free to protect those he loves?
Multi
award-winning Celtic paranormal and fantasy romance author, Mary
Morgan resides in Northern California, with her own knight in shining
armor. However, during her travels to Scotland, England, and Ireland,
she left a part of her soul in one of these countries and vows to
return.
Mary's
passion for books started at an early age along with an overactive
imagination. Inspired by her love for history and ancient Celtic
mythology, her tales are filled with powerful warriors, brave women,
magic, and romance. It wasn't until the closure of Borders Books
where Mary worked that she found her true calling by writing romance.
Now, the worlds she created in her mind are coming to life within her
stories.
If
you enjoy history, tortured heroes, and a wee bit of magic, then
time-travel within the pages of her books.
During
our trip several years ago to Northern Scotland and the Orkney
Islands, my husband and I were fortunate to have a personal guide
escort us. David Ladd was exceptional in his knowledge—from
referencing the names of flowers in the most obscure places to the
wildlife and history, especially during our travels on Orkney. He
took us on an amazing adventure, oftentimes off the well-worn path,
revealing spectacular vistas. I shall always treasure our time with
him and for allowing me to crawl into the Tomb of the Eagles in South
Ronaldsay, Orkney. For a few hazarding moments, I worried David and
my husband when I had trouble getting out of the small tomb. Was I
worried? No.
Before
I entered, rain and wind pelted us on our mile walk up the hill. Once
I crawled inside the small tomb, I stood and encountered utter
silence—no howling wind and no rain leaked through the crevices of
stone. It was as if I entered another time and place—literally.
Here were my immediate reactions within this cairn: Peace.
Stillness.
I am not alone.
Let
me explain further about the Tomb of Eagles…
Located
above the dramatic South Ronaldsay cliffs, the Isbister Chambered
Cairn—better known today as the ‘Tomb of the Eagles’—is one
of Orkney's top archaeological sites. Discovered by a local farmer
Ronnie Simison in the 1950s, the Stone Age tomb revealed an amazing
collection of bones and artifacts, placed here some 5,000 years ago.
Among the human bones, there were many talons and bones of the
white-tailed eagle.
The
Tomb of Eagles played an important part in the book. I took my
experience and wove it into the story and through Magnar.
