The King's Raven

In 12th century Ireland, Dermot's druidess is a legend on the battlefield. Orphaned at birth, Nessa was raised by the king of Leinster, Dermot MacMurrough. When Dermot's son, Conor, is taken as a hostage to ensure his father's compliance with a treaty, she embarks on a daring quest to assassinate High-King Rory O'Connor. Visions of the future have always plagued Nessa. Now the trees are whispering of Conor's execution and she is desperate to change the outcome. An immortal cast out as a child for lack of shapeshifting ability, Conri has wandered the mortal world for over 100 years. His loyalty to the mortal king, Rory O'Connor, is absolute but Conri is a man without a home, not truly belonging to either world. Ordered by his king to guard Nessa, the green-eyed weapon known as Dermot's druidess, Conri finds the one woman he cannot resist. When Nessa reveals her unimaginable powers and shifting abilities, all of Conri's old insecurities come flooding back. Falling in love with Rory O'Connor's captain of the guard was never part of Nessa's plan. Deciding between old and new loyalties is beyond difficult but convincing Conri of her love, despite his lack of shifting ability, might actually be impossible. A medieval romance with shapeshifting immortals, a meddlesome king, and a timeless journey to find the one person who becomes home.
