Princess of the Highlands Trilogy Book 1 ~~~ A TIME OF DARKNESS Six years since the Danes invaded Scotland, slaying her finest men. Five since the Highland King married one of the enemy, betraying his countrymen and losing the Lowlanders' support. Three since the king died and the Danes imprisoned the remaining blood heir to the throne. Her crown stolen, her country desolated, Fiona McCurragh now faces the looming threat of execution. The Lowlanders, weary of enemy rule, seek to free their stolen homeland. With the aid of a blind harper, they attempt to rescue their Highland princess when the Danes ride in on Lowlander territory, shattering the fragile peace. The Scots are left with no choice except to launch a war in the face of the coming winter. If they do not attack now, the Scots-and their princess-may not live to see the spring. In the face of despair, Fiona McCurragh finds courage in friendship with two chief's sons. Yet conflict lies on more than one side, and for some of the Scots and their allies, loyalty no longer has any meaning. --- **FEATURED on Wattpad's Blast to the Past List** **Highest Ranking: #34 in Historical Fiction 8/24/2020** January Book of the Month in Historical Fantasy in The Gladiator Pit Top 5 in The Historical Award 2019 Best Technical Skill in Fiction in The 2019 Futhark Awards Best Historical Fiction Chapter in What a Chapter Contest 1st: Earnesty Awards 2017 Hidden Gems Awards 2017 The Paper Plane Awards 2017 The Chaos Awards 3!

This is a journal entry of a Knight who has fallen in love with the queen. He's a poor Knight but proclaims his love anyhow in his journal. I play around a bit with the word use and grammar to make it seem more old and him more lowly of his writ. This however, was just a trial run to see if people enjoyed it or not, so feedback would be great and appreciated. - Tomorrow's Just Another Day Ongoing

Eidar was travelling the wilds as normal until one fateful day. Now he's on the run with a large bounty on his head. If only he'd taken a different route that day... If only he hadn't been lulled into a false sense of security and forgotten the dangers lurking out there... If only he'd drawn his sword just a second earlier... Dante knew he shouldn't have taken that last bet. He knew he shouldn't have cheated. He knew that they'd find out what he'd done, and then he'd be dead. He just needed to skip town before it came to that point... *** This book takes the form of multiple short stories, however they are all in chronological order, with the same main characters, and there is an overarching plot throughout. Updates will also be slow and sporadic as this is just a passion project for myself. I don't have much of a plan & have no idea how long this story will end up being, but I do know this story will focus on the characters rather than a major storyline - think of it as all one big character study, mainly for Eidar.
