For the medieval lover who cherishes both history and the mythical, magical medieval world

After seeing his brother James killed by a blade with clan markings, Camden Lockhart swears revenge on the entire Ruthven clan. In a moment of impulsiveness, Camden hires a man to do just that! Rhiannon Ruthven escapes the brutality of her brothers by escaping to an abbey but Mother Agnes has another plan for her. In a desperate attempt to capture the celebrated Charm Stone to increase his power, the Archbishop had accused Violet's mother of witchcraft. Without James or Camden to intervene, Clara handed over Violet and the celebrated Charm Stone to Mother Agnes. Now in an effort to protect the Charm Stone and keep Violet safe, Mother Agnes charges Rhiannon with the duty as Violet's protector on a perilous journey to the Ruthven castle. Having vowed vengeance on all Ruthvens, Camden is shocked to discover a female Ruthven right at his doorstep. Honor demands that he protect her but little does he realize all the forces at play who wish to destroy her. As Camden discovers Rhiannon's skill, determination and heart all focused on protecting Violet, to the point of risking her life for others, Rhiannon's spirit transforms the heart of this a warrior, a man almost destroyed by his lust for vengeance. Can he protect her from the killer he hired and those wishing to possess the healing powers of the Charm Stone? Can the Charm Stone unite the Ruthvens and the Lockharts with love? In WARRIOR'S LADY, the third in her Scottish Stones of Destiny series, Gerri Russell creates a passionate medieval tale of love, danger, and legend all together with a twist of paranormal power. Rhiannon is a wounded soul, a woman who feels herself alone and unwanted and yet her heart is all goodness. Her love for Violet and indeed for Camden fills her with an inner strength, rather allowing it to surface even in the most dangerous moments. She will do everything within her power to protect Violet and teach her how to stand up and protect herself. Camden is a warrior, a man ruled by intense emotion and yet when everyone else in his castle resents Rhiannon, Camden's fairness and integrity shine forth. Gerri Russell creates a stunning portrait of her villains that fills this romance with exciting, suspenseful drama as the archbishop and his mother scheme and plot. In an unexpected way, even their story moved this reader. I found myself craving justice for all their misdeeds and yet, Gerri Russell created in them a multi-dimensional portrait from which I easily understood their motivations. Gerri Russell has a gift for peering into the hearts of all her characters and placing them within adventures that keep readers locked into captivating drama. Gerri Russell, winner of the American Title contest, finishes this wonderful series with a masterstroke. A new fresh, powerful voice within the genre, Gerri Russell is an author for the medieval lover who cherishes both history and the mythical, magical medieval world. With a paranormal aspect taken from medieval hi

Escape into history

Russell writes a fantastic, yet relatable, story of two strong characters drawn together into an exciting story line. Her historical research is evident as she paints a vivid picture of the daily life and politics of 14th century Scotland. As a fan of women's fiction, I love being transported into the world Russell creates. The story builds beautifully until its surprising - and satisfying - ending.

exciting paranormal fourteenth century Scottish romance

In 1377, Clara Lockhart is accused of witchcraft by the Bishop for using the healing powers of the Charm Stone brought back by her late spouse's family from the Holy Land Crusades. Clara expects to die, but begs Mother Agnes to protect her hidden young daughter Violet and the stone. The Bishop demands Clara hand him the Charm Stone, but she refuses though he threatens Violet. At about the same time that the Bishop interrogates Clara, Camden finds his brother and six others dead, victims of the ruthless Ruthven clan who massacred them at Lee Castle. He vows vengeance aginst all of Ruthven blood and hires mercenaries to kill his enemy while he searches for his sister in law Clara and niece Violet. Following a horrific beating from her brother Dugal, Rhiannon Ruthven takes shelter at the abbey run by Mother Agnes. However, Agnes believes the young woman is the answer to her prayers; someone to escort Violet and the Charm Stone to the child's Uncle Camden. Rhiannon agrees to escorts Violet to Camden. When she does, he intially does not trust her as she is a Ruthven, but observes her lioness protection of the orphaned cub Violet. As they fall in love, Camden still wants to destroy the blood thirsty Ruthven, but risks his life to keep Rhiannon safe from his hired guns as much as from her siblings. Gerri Russell's third medieval "Warrior" romance (see THE WARRIOR'S BRIDE and THE WARRIOR TRAINER) is an exciting paranormal historical. The star-crossed lovers share in common several things starting with a need to keep little Violet safe and leading to love between them. The story line is action-packed from the onset when Clara knows she will die in spite of her innocence. Ms. Russell provides another fresh fourteenth century Scottish romance. Harriet Klausner
