I was so excited to read about Searc in this novel. We first meet Searc in Captured Hearts as a young man. Now he is full grown and a lovable HUNK!  He has powers like his mother but where hers are a healing blue magic his is a life stealing red magic. He feels he is a demon and leaves the clan. On his travels he meets up with a beautiful lady named Elena. Elena has quite the parentage. She is also on the run from Bloody Mary of England. Searc agrees to protect her and see her too safety. She at first sees his magic in action and thinks he is evil but as she gets to know him realizes that he is actually a kind, loving and very protective. Without giving too much more away, they both work together to solve a mystery, young girls are being kidnapped and murder with ritualistic markings. They befriend the Queen regent of Scotland, Mary of Guisse and end up falling in love. When Searc's parents show up they let him know they and the clan love and accept him the way he is and He decides to go back to his clan (and takes Elena with him).I love the way Heather takes the history of this time and fits her characters in nicely. It as if Elena really did exist (survived) and had been living in the Highlands the whole time. The background is accurate and just fun to read. I couldn't put this book down, but I can never put any of her books down and I end up rereading all her novels. When the previous characters (of her other novels) make appearances it is like a some family reunion or get together. I love knowing (or keeping up with) all the previous characters and their children. She adds a few new characters and you end up hoping they get their own story. Judith of the Davidson clan sound quite interesting. Either way the love these characters share and the adventures Heather gives them are very enjoyable. You will not be disappointed reading her novels.PS Dragonflies are starting to be my favorite by the way!!
