These two first met in my holiday short story, An Angel's Promise. Eight-year-old Artis braves a blizzard to fulfill a promise made by her mother who was murdered before keeping said promise. Fionn, not much older than Artis, braved the blizzard to escape from the abuse of his father--who for reasons I won't go into always called his son 'Naff', the Scots Gaelic word for Rubbish. When Artis learned this, she told Naff that was silly and gave him the name Fionnlagh. 

The pair sheltered together against the storm and nearly died. Of course, at the last moment they are rescued by her brother Raeb, Baron MacKai who takes Fionn into clan MacKai and raises him like a brother.

I loved writing An Angel's Promise and missed these two characters greatly. However, I knew Artis and Fionn's story would be the last in the MacKai Brides series. Between that series and other writing commitments, I've been unable to make much progress on their story until now. 

So, while you wait for me to finish MacKai Brides Book Six, take the time to enjoy the prequel story, An Angel's Promise. Use the code SEY50 at Smashwords.com to get 50%* off the usual price of An Angel's Promise.
