Isla can scarcely remember a time when she felt true joy. Once a healer learning the secrets of herbs under the tutelage of the elder clansman David, she has become his prisoner, her gifts twisted to serve his dark ambitions. David insists that Isla's abilities are divine—that she can heal the wounded and foresee the future—making her the ultimate weapon for Laird McKenzie's war against the despised English.

Cameron McKenzie, the Laird's son, is a formidable leader who places his faith in strength and reason, not superstition. He refuses to let his clan's fate be guided by prophecies and enchantments. Yet, there's something about Isla—her mysterious talents and haunting beauty—that he cannot ignore.

As Cameron draws closer to Isla, he uncovers a young woman trapped in pain, not a sorceress to be feared. He yearns to free her, but doubts linger: are her feelings genuine or just another trick? Little does he know, his desire to save her could ignite a chain of events that might lead his people to ruin. In a world where magic blurs with reality, will Cameron risk everything for love—or will he doom them all?
