Escocia, 1216. Cuatro de los mas formidables guerreros del clan MacTier han caido en una trampa, en lo mas profundo del bosque. Iban tras la banda del Halcon, un grupo de forajidos que asaltaban y humillaban a los miembros de su clan. Estaban preparados para enfrentarse a hombres aguerridos y bien armados, y se han dejado vencer por un anciano decrepito y tres jovenes que a penas podian con el peso de sus espadas, capitaneados por... una mujer. Ciertamente, hubieran preferido morir en combate que vivir aquella humillacion: las ataduras, la reclusion en el destruido castillo de sus adversarios despojados de sus armas... Escapar seria, entonces, la unica solucion honorable... si no fuera porque esa accion significaria mas muerte, mas destruccion, mucho mas horror. / In the breathtaking tradition of Once a Warrior and The Witch and the Warrior comes Karyn Monk's passionate new tale of a distant time, a proud people--and a forbidden love. When the ruthless MacTiers destroyed Melantha's clan, she vowed to do whatever was necessary to keep her people alive. It was a daring risk to disguise herself as ""the Falcon,"" a mysterious horseman who stole food and gold from the enemy, always slipping away unscathed. But when Melantha captured the MacTier warrior who was sent to kill her, the danger she faced was the desire aroused by this enigmatic stranger... Roarke had known only battle for far too long. With his family gone, he had proved his loyalty to his laird in countless conflicts, fighting with the fearless arrogance of a man who had nothing to lose--and untold rewards to gain. But murdering the enchanting spitfire who had waged her own maddening war against his clan was unthinkable. Torn between fealty to his lord and the dictates of his conscience, Roarke would look for an answer in the emerald eyes of a woman who dared to show him the meaning of honor, the bonds of family--and the power of love. - from Amzon
