“We can die in battle with honor, but no horseman from God would die of taint.”
Northern Scotland
June, 1589
War has been going on between Clan’s Sinclair and Sutherland since the broken and brutal marriage of Chieftain Alec Sutherland and Laird George Sinclair’s sister Merida. As Alec Sutherland was abusive to her and divorced her. After the Sinclair’s mother died, raising their children, Chieftain, George Sinclair, was eccentric and possibly a bit bipolar, naming all his sons from the book of revelations, known as the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. George was very disappointed as his fourth child was a female, Hannah, which he had always ignored. As his fifth child, a fourth son was his fourth horseman. So his set of four horsemen was complete.
Now Sutherland chieftain Ella, was captured for ordering all her archers to aim and kill Laird George Sinclair, the four horsemen’s father. She had no guilt, as they had killed hundreds if not thousands of her men during these clan attacks on her land! Cain Sinclair, God of Conquest, was determined to get retribution claiming she was his! So after Ella Sutherland was taken into custody, she was surprised she was not taken to their dungeon, but another bedroom. Now she was even more disturbed getting delicious food, clean clothing and Cain was trying to woo her! Her first gift was an adorable ball of fur, in an adorable kitten she named Boo. This definitely surprised her, but was even more shocked that he wanted to marry Ella Sutherland.
As if there two enemy clans had not tried this already and it failed miserably. Plus her father was also killed by the Sinclair’s previously in these clan battles. As they had been going on for an extremely long time. Yet Alec Sutherland was no prince, he treated his horses better than people. A very horrid and black hearted man who tried to force his own daughter to marry the abusive Laird, Hew MacKay, who was a total snake. She broke that forced betrothal right after his death. She had to break the contract to pay him off with a lot of their live stock and silks, but it was definitely worth it.
Ella liked being the leader and the person in charge of her clan, plus she had a secret that no one was aware of. She is brave, clever and beautiful, this female Chieftain, but convincing her to marry was no easy task.
Will Ella marry Cain for his quest for peace. As the marriage between their two strong clans would bring peace and balance to them and possibly all of Northern Scotland. Tradesmen will learn and trade from each other and the land will become fertile and settled. This will force their Clan MacKay neighbor to back down, knowing they were united forcing no more attacks on outlying farms as they will outnumber and crush them. Yet will it be enough without love in this potent mixture? Read and find out
The Sons of Sinclair:
Cain - God of conquest
Joshua- God of war
Gideon- God of equality/ balance
BÃ s- God of death
Ms McCollum does it again penning another riveting story from start to finish. She is a favorite author of mine as I think this will be the fourth series of hers I am reading. I have given each 5 star reviews and Highland Conquest will be no different. It is very easy to get swept into her stories. I thought picking the story through the biblical stories of The Four Horsemen, in the Book of Revelations was absolutely both brilliant and exhilarating! I intend to read each book in the series as that is the way I always roll. Like potato chips one is never enough! I can’t wait for the next one in the “Sons of Sinclair” series!
This is another book historical romance readers will love. It includes all the elements readers all love. A book you can’t bare to put down. Another riveting, fast-paced, page-turning masterpiece. The setting was awe-inspiring, the multi dimensional characters just blew me away, breathtaking dialogue and the plotting was absolutely brilliant. I also loved the four legged creatures in this novel too. I loved all the eye popping surprises in this story too
I highly recommend this beautiful book as I can’t recommend it enough. An absolute masterpiece!
