There is something about Falgannon, something that keeps most of its male inhabitants unwed. Every male of the Isle has happiness dependent upon that of its Lady. So things have been since Pictish times, and so they will be long after the present day. Despite her machinations, to this point B. A. Montgomerie has been unable to make her men happy. Now, a new son of Eire has arrived and is making the natives restless. Yes, everyone can sense Desmond Mershan’s desire for B.A. And while the men of Falgannon will never let anything happen that she doesn’t want, this Irishman has come to pillage, and nothing is going to stop him. B.A. can taste the battle to come.
