Ailig MacLeod was mentioned in the previous book in this series as being charged with becoming chief of his clan by the King of Scotland. So this book picks up with Ailig returning to his clan to take up this task, but he receives much resistance, opposition, and hostility from many members of his clan and his father especially. Upon his return he is immediately drawn to the cautious widow Morainn, who is afraid to fall in love again as she knows how quickly those feelings fade. The clan's champion also has his eye on Morainn and sets out to make as much trouble and opposition for Ailig as he can. Ailig struggles to do what's best for a clan that is wholly resistant to his help despite the fact that he's doing all he can to save them from the king's wrath. Ailig enlists Morainn's help and the two become friends and soon grow even closer, but there can be no future between them as long as Ailig's future, and that of the entire clan, is so uncertain. Will Ailig prevail against terrible odds or be forced out in defeat and have no choice but to leave the clan to their fate?
I liked this book much better than the first installment in this series and the narrator's voice was perfect for the setting; listening to it as an audiobook definitely helped. Ailig and Morainn were great characters to read about.
