description: Librarian's Note: Alternate-cover edition for ISBN10: 1514781611 / ISBN13: 9781514781616BOOK 1 OF 5Mòrag’s world is one of proud magical creatures and fierce armies bristling with steel and sorcery.  Welcome to twenty-seventh century post-apocalyptic Scotland. A land changed by nuclear war, where the only technology in the land is medically orientated — as decreed by the new leaders in the emergence, during the immediate aftermath of near-global destruction of the human race — all in order to kill just one ruler. Now, more than six-hundred years later, immortal beasts once again roam wild in the countryside; mighty princes battle for power and the common folk do their best to avoid being trampled in their wake. Born of a forbidden coupling between the Albannach and Sasannach royal houses; Mòrag is destined to rule. But her birth right has been kept secret - even from her, and discovery of her royal blood could cost her life.  Mòrag is no ordinary girl. Her royal blood's hidden talents begin to reveal themselves during her military training at Sruighlea Castle, and she is suddenly in a lot more trouble than she ever dreamed of.  Mòrag is about to enter a brutal world of conflict and turmoil which will challenge everything she knows and believes in.
