The Loch Awe Legacy, Book Four

Whisper of Steel: Forged in Shadow

Duncan and Elara have returned to Auchenblae, but the peace they so desperately sought is a lie.

The Keep, a beacon of hope and a symbol of their new alliance, is coveted by a chieftain as cunning as he is cruel: Alistair MacDougall. He will wage a war of shadows, using ambush and psychological terror to seize the home he believes is his by right.

As the Keep's walls become a cage and the world outside a deathtrap, Elara is forced to confront the secrets of her own mind.

Her hands remember what her soul has forgotten, her body moving with a silent, deadly precision that terrifies her as much as it saves her. The past is a whisper, a shadow of the warrior she was trained to be—a warrior she must now become to protect the man she loves and the home she has so desperately fought for.

For a reckoning is coming to the Highlands, a final confrontation between a man consumed by greed and a woman haunted by a hidden power. Elara must listen to the whisper of steel in her soul and embrace the truth that was forged in pain and blood.

In this war, the quietest warriors will prove the most dangerous of all.
