Maisie MacNiven always believed that being the youngest daughter of a Laird would grant her the freedom to marry for love. But when her father arranges her marriage to Laird Logan Shaw—a man with a brutal reputation from a mysterious and isolated clan—her dreams are shattered overnight.

The Shaw clan, shrouded in death and deceit, has been at war with nearly every clan in the Highlands. Reluctantly, Maisie journeys to the cold north, leaving behind the life she knew. Upon meeting Logan, she is surprised to find a man who appears kind, not fitting the ruthless descriptions she had heard.

But beneath the surface, revenge has been simmering for years, and Maisie's arrival might be the spark that ignites it. As she delves deeper into Logan's poisonous past, she realizes that if she doesn't confront the lurking dangers, she may become the next chapter in a legacy of tragedy and doom.

Can her love break the curse that binds them, or will the shadows of the past consume them both?
