The Charm Stone (2002)
The Charm Stone
“An eternity of time, but his faith had never wavered. He'd done little but think about this moment. Yet now that it was here, Connal MacNeil scarcely knew how to act. His heart pounded and a loud roar had taken up residence inside his head. His destiny would now-finally-be fulfilled.
“Come wi’ me,” he commanded the young woman who'd borne him the trunk. A comely lass she was, too, he thought. Short, wind-tossed curls and expressive eyes, coupled with a figure seemingly hardy enough to bear him ...the beginnings of the legacy he'd bargained so dearly for. Aye, she would do. Not that he could afford to be choosy.
He'd long wondered if the gods had indeed played a role in the fate of the stone, despite knowing that once the stone was set upon its way, only Fate guided its course. Had they somehow conspired with the Fates to punish him for his brothers’ transgressions? He knew not. But his faith would be rewarded. His destiny was not to die on some bloody battlefield, his clan in ruin.MoreLess
