marry. Since they will not obey their monarch he sends
his most trustworthy "dragons" to the Sacred Mists of Glen
Shane hidden in the Scotland Highlands. Julian the Black
Dragon and his two brothers, Sir Guillaume and Sir Simon,
are bone weary after years of seemingly non-stop
fighting. Each seeks domestic tranquility and serenity
but know that filling Edward's coffers will never end so
they willingly accept his Highness' offer to wed the
MacShane siblings. Edward assigns Sir Julian to wed Tamlyn and take charge of
her estate Glenrogha. Though she loathes Edward and would
cherish saying no to his agent, Tamlyn has the gift and
realizes she and Julian are tied together and besides she
saw what he saw at the bloody battle of Berwyn. She
acquiesces to Julian's demands for the sake of her people,
but he soon realizes that is not enough at least for him.
He needs her as his loving wife and partner sharing the
bond of dragonmasters. A RESTLESS KNIGHT is a beguiling Highland romantic
fantasy. The storyline uses fae magical elements to
enhance the strong historical plot. Her touch enables
Tamlyn to see the horror that eats at her soulmate's heart
and consequently hers. Still this bewitching protagonist
knows she must keep her people's welfare first before any
personal happiness. Fans will enjoy this delightful
pairing of two spirited dragons whose love for one another
refreshes the Scottish Highland historical romantic
landscape. Harriet Klausner
