Tanya Anne Crosby weaves a haunting tale. A warrior's hidden fears, a mother's secrets to protect her child. I very much enjoyed the read, although the old-world language was difficult to follow at times. Nevertheless, it is worth the difficulties for the story the author weaves. ( )

Must read

I love this book! From the beginning to the end it was page turning. Tanya Anne Crosby did a great job on this book can't wait to read the next book of this series Guardians of the Stone. ( )

Highland Fire (Guardians of the Stone #1) is a captivating historical romance novel set in medieval times in the Scottish Highlands. Aidan dun Scoti, a Highlander chieftan, lives in the remote parts of the north with his clan, guarding the secret Stone of Destiny, which all leaders would desire to possess. As part of an alliance, Lileas MacLaren is given in wedlock to Aidan, while Lileas’ son is held for ransom by King David of Scotland. Lileas, who possesses healing powers, has been cursed to cause the death of whomever she weds, and some say she is even a witch. This novel is immersed in Scottish history, although I don’t know how accurate it might be. In the initial chapters I was unfamiliar with the characters, and it was slightly puzzling, but I soon became immersed in the novel, and once the characters became more developed, I really began to enjoy the story, especially the Scottish brogue and the many romantic aspects of it.
