"Rose Fenemore is taking a break from her Cambridge teaching post in an isolated cottage on the Hebridean island of Moila. One evening, she is shocked to discover an attractive stranger, Ewen Mackay, in her kitchen, who claims to have grown up in the cottage. She is tempted to believe him when another man seeks shelter from the storm. John Parsons also rouses Rose's skepticism and more tender feelings as well. And as the truth about the two men unfolds, the stormy petrels, fragile elusive birds who fly close to the waves, come to symbolize Rose's confusion and the mystery of her future." Book

Fatal Majesty is the story of Mary Queen of Scots - but this is no conventional retelling of a fascinating yet familiar tale. Reay Tannahill, with her mastery of characterisation, pace and plot, presents Mary's life not simply as a romantic saga on the grand scale, but also as one of the most complex and violent political thrillers in the annals of British history.466P.

Description In 1426, leaving her home in the sun-bleached courts of Avignon, seventeen-year-old Ninian rides into the darkness and strife of Scotland to marry a stranger. Her path crosses that of Gavin Cameron of Kinveil, priest and Chancellor of Scotland. Laconic, ambitious and handsome, he is the one man the Stewart king dares to trust, the one man strong enough to save the kingdom from the civil war planned by the charming, implacable Archdeacon Columba Crozier and his bastard sun, Adam de Verne. Tied by blood on one side and by an overwhelming -- and forbidden -- love on the other, Ninian, growing from her careless girlhood into a beautiful woman and an artist of brilliance and power, is precipitated into violence and tragedy, in which she, too, has a vital part to play.479p.
