"For two centuries, Aidan dún Scoti's kinsmen have guarded Scotland's greatest secret. Now King David seeks an alliance with the mountain Scot. But only one woman will tempt him--the accursed beauty whose father once betrayed his clan ... Cursed by Aidan's people for the sins of her father, Lìleas MacLaren is the one woman Aidan believes he is immune to--she is also the one woman who may bring the fierce chieftan to his knees."--Page 4 of cover.
