An intimidating sight. They stood in the doorway, glancing about at the revelers as if not quite understanding what was going on. The man in the lead took a few more steps into the hall before removing his hood, revealing long, black hair and a beard to match. His eyes darted about the room as if searching someone out. His gaze landed on Darragh and Brighit, where it hesitated for the slightest moment before continuing around the room.”
From: Daughter of the Overking by Ashley York ~ Book Three in The Warrior Kings series
BLURB: A mistaken identity. A gruesome murder.
Trained as a warrior…
Brighit of Clonascra despises the trappings and demands of womanhood and is far more comfortable training for battle. Long held alliances require she set aside selfish dreams and take Darragh as her husband. The union intended to promote peace between the clans is interrupted by the shocking murder of a neighboring king and she quickly discovers there are far worse things than being wed.
Trained to be king…
Darragh of Drogheda has no wish to be king, but he is an obedient son and supports his father’s plans. His marriage to Brighit, however, will be no hardship at all since he finds her most intriguing when she fights him at every turn. A she-warrior indeed. Her persistent dismissal of him merely blows the fire aflame and sets him down the path to discovery of all her most tightly held secrets—secrets that could cost him his life.
