The crimson seer
THE CRIMSON SEER
S. L. Payne
The Sight does not lie. But it can be tinted by the heart.
Scotland, 1318. In the restless aftermath of the Battle of Bannockburn, the Highlands are a land of fragile loyalties and ancient secrets. At Dunrath Keep, Aisling MacCorra lives in the shadows of the great hall, carrying a gift that is both her shield and her burden. As a bean-fhiosach-a knowing woman-she sees what others cannot: the weight of consequence, the motion of the future, and the unnameable colors of the soul.
For six years, Aisling has made herself indispensable to a Chief who values her only for her utility. She has built her life on a foundation of deliberate composure, guarding her heart against a world that has already taken too much. But when Cormac of Dunrath returns from the eastern border, the visions change.
Cormac is a man of iron and silence, a commander who has survived by attending only to what is practical. He has no time for seers or shadows, yet in the stillness of a cleared hall, he finds himself looking at a woman who refuses to be dismissed.
As an insidious betrayal begins to coil around the keep, Aisling and Cormac are drawn into an unexpected alliance. Together, they must navigate a road marked by fire and rain, facing an enemy who understands the Sight better than Aisling ever feared.
In a story of love, grief, and the courage required to want something again, the Crimson Seer must decide: will she continue to manage the distance, or will she finally stand on the ground she has arrived at?
