Narration Conducive To Books On a Highland Shore (Highland #1)

From acclaimed historical novelist Kathleen Givens comes a magnificently conceived, intricately detailed novel that brings to vivid life the tumult, adventure, and passion of thirteenth-century Scotland, when Norse invaders laid claim to the land and its people—and an explosive clash of cultures, politics, and personal pride changed the world forever.

On Scotland's western shore, the village of Somerstrath prepares for the joyous wedding celebration of Margaret MacDonald, the laird's daughter. But a dark storm of bloodshed and betrayal is closing in, as a merciless band of Vikings threatens the Highlands.

Margaret is determined to hold the MacDonald clan together and to locate her abducted younger brother. But can she trust the noblemen from King Alexander's court, who insist that only by adhering to a betrothal conceived for political gain will she find safety? Or should she put her trust in an imposing half-Irish, half-Norse warrior?

Gannon MacMagnus alone offers her hope of reuniting her family and vanquishing the barbarous Norsemen who would continue to rob her people of their God-given right to determine their own destinies. In whom should Margaret entrust the fate of the rugged, magnificent land she calls home?

Assessment Out Of Books On a Highland Shore (Highland #1)

I'm trying to find another author's work to compare this novel to but I keep coming up short. Kathleen Givens is like a hardy mix of my favourite authors - a gritty Jude Deveraux, a loved up Philippa Gregory, a purley historical Barbara Erskine. This was truly one of my favourite purely historical depictions of Scotland.The most powerful aspect of this novel was certainly the characterisation. Whilst some reviewers have found this lacking, I felt the protagonists to be diverse and perfectly



Scotland in the thirteenth century! This is a really wonderful historical novel with romance, action (it was a very brutal time), and it gives you a real feel of the era, the sights and of people's lives then. The very first chapter of the book introduces the reader to the enemy but does not give his name and it isn't revealed until much later. There is no doubt of how evil he is.There is a touch of the supernatural but only a hint which begins with a prophecy from an old woman to Margaret

After getting frustrated and suffering from bouts of migraine from the historical romance novels Ive read these past weeks, this book came to me like a gulp of fresh air. I liked how the story line progressed, and while the premise is still cliché (about two people finding love in the midst of a very ugly and tragic circumstance), the author had evened it out by creating protagonists with common sense and believable behavior. I was going to write a full review about this book, but then I read

Simply Superb! One of My Favorites From a Favorite Author!Kathleen Givens was an award-winning author of Scottish historicals, each rich in historical detail and each a story I consider to be a "keeper."Set in 13th century Scotland, this tells the story of Margaret MacDonald and Gannon MacMagnus, who find love out of misfortune and the changes that take their lives from the paths they were to take. In both this book and its sequel, RIVALS FOR THE CROWN, Kathleen Givens does a superb job of

Set in 1263 Scotland, so lots of kilts flinging around. If you follow me, you should know that a man in a kilt works for me, so a book full of them...I like the plot though it was fairly straightforward which was what I needed for a long car drive with distracted reading. Enjoyed the romance as it was somewhat out of the normal for me.

Kathleen Givens breathes life into history & her characters, creating a moving & captivating story. Set in 13th century Scotland Margaret MacDonald is preparing to marry Lachlan Ross, (cousin to King Alexander.) When Ross betrays Margaret, she refuses to marry him and travels to England with her sister Nell and her brother Rignor to ask the King to break her betrothal contract. On returning home, Margaret finds viking raiders have destroyed her home in Somerstrath, decimated her clan
