Morag's world is one of proud magical creatures and fierce armies bristling with steel and sorcery. Welcome to twenty-seventh century post-apocalyptic Scotland; where immortal beasts roam wild in the countryside, mighty princes battle for power and the common folk do their best to avoid being trampled in their wake. Born of a forbidden coupling between the Albannach and Sasannach royal houses; Morag is destined to rule. But her birth right has been kept secret - even from her, and discovery of her royal blood could cost her life. Morag is no ordinary girl. Her royal blood's hidden talents begin to reveal themselves during her military training at Sruighlea Castle, and she is suddenly in a lot more trouble than she ever dreamed of. Morag is about to enter a brutal world of conflict and turmoil which will challenge everything she knows and believes in."
