Drake researched her own family's roots in Scotland all the way back to the Middle Ages for this new series, which explores the history and lore of the 12th-century war of the Highlands. The greatest of fighters, Lord Lion, takes a Viking bride who has sworn to resist him in body and spirit.
This was one of the first drake novel I read, and it made me a lifelong fan of Drake. Though not the best one she has written, it is a very good read.
Excellent Book!

This was my first Shannon Drake book and have already bought the next 4 books in this series. It's excellently written with plenty of facts about the history of Scotland to make it very easy to understand. This is different from other historical romances that I've read because it actually has a ton of historical facts to thrill a curious mind while bringing the characters and this time alive. I loved how I was able to envision the landscape and the characters without being bogged down with too much description. I recommend this book too anyone interested in the medieval times and in Scotland. I look forward to reading the rest of her books in this series.
Come the morning - captivating

This is my first book by Ms.Drake and it is really grand. The story is very well blended with the history of Scotland. I kept turning the pages and started to like Scottish and Viking historicals. It took me only one night to read this book. Love scences are subtly described and the plots are well created. I love Waryk and Mellyora so much. They are so very charming. Other characters are so good too. (especially the mistress is surprisingly so nice). Before me sits "Conquer the Night" which is Ms.Drake's second book in Graham series.
Very Addicting, full of action!

I found this book to be difficult to put down! Drake does an excellent job with the dialogues, and leaves the reader anticipating the future of her characters. This book is full of historical fact, and informative. It follows the points of view of different lively, characters, which helps to broaden the perspective.
