Dartayous is an immortal who has a lot of questions, mostly concerning his origins. He knows he was found on the steps of a monastery as an infant, and the only clue to his heritage was a ring found with him. Growing up, he understood what his duty would be. The day he rescued the young child, Moira, from the chamber where her parents had been killed, was when it began. His main responsibility is to keep her safe until she can play a her part in a prophecy concerning her, and her two sisters. He has kept his heart walled off from Moira, but his growing feelings for her deeply concern him. Regardless, he cannot see a future with her. He is immortal, and she is a gifted, mortal Druid priestess. He is convinced it would be worse only having her for a human span of years than to do without her altogether.Moira has always seen herself as less than her sisters, and has little self confidence. Fiona and Glenna have already fulfilled their parts in the prophecy, and now she must fulfill her own. She has no real idea of what the prophecy will ask of her, but she is trying to bolster her courage. When the rogue Fae Lugus kidnaps her, after she arrives near the capitol city, she begins to doubt her feelings for Dartayous. Before long, she cannot remember him, her beloved sisters, or her guardian, Frang, the high priest of the Druids.Lugus is the only Fae to escape the Shadowland, and he wants his revenge for being imprisoned there. He has no qualms about using his Fae abilities to slowly destroy Moira's memories. He wants her as his queen and will let nothing stand in his way. While his released black dragons fly overhead destroying the city he has always loved, he begins to have his own doubts.While Moira watches the black dragons fly overhead in battle with the Fae dragons, she has a terrible battle of her own to fight. With her memories of her beloved Dartayous stolen, will she regain them in time? Will she be the queen of an evil Fae who wants to control the Fae world, or the mate to the man she has always loved? Her choice will determine whether Scotland and the Fae realm are controlled by evil, or guided by love.From the wilds of the Highlands to the unparalleled beauty of the Fae realm, Grant weaves a wonderful tapestry in lyrical prose. This, the third installment of the Druid's Glen series, delivers in every way! I just wish there were more in the series to read. (Guess I will have to go back and read them all again.) This is an entertaining trilogy! Very highly recommended!
