The Wolf surrenders to no one.

Welcome to Medieval Monday, Week 3! The theme for #MedMonSpring21 is "First Kiss" and I am excited to be hosting Mary Morgan! She's sharing a snippet from Magnar, which I have already read, loved, and reviewed. This is a first kiss you won't want to miss!

Elspeth lifted her head as a long tear trickled down her cheek. “Then there is hope?”

“Aye. You shall marry me. The king desires this union.”

Her mouth dropped open as she gaped at him like a forlorn fish. Quickly snapping it shut, she struggled to be free from his hold. “Nae!”

About the Book:

Known as the Barbarian, Magnar MacAlpin is a fierce ruler for those under his command. As leader of the Wolves of Clan Sutherland, his loyalty and obedience lies with Scotland. However, the king’s last demand is not something Magnar will tolerate.

After Elspeth Gunn’s brother the Chieftain of Castle Steinn is murdered, she flees with her nephew, and finds safety amongst a band of men who are rumored to be part wolf. When the king forces her to wed a heathen Northman, she fears losing her heart and soul not only to the man, but the beast as well.

In order to restore peace to a shattered clan, Magnar and Elspeth travel a treacherous path that challenges their beliefs. When evil seeks to destroy ancient traditions, will Magnar be compelled to restrain his wolf or allow him free to protect those he loves?

A Little of This, a Little of That

Keep me away from the wisdom that does not cry, the philosophy that does not laugh, and the greatness which does not bow before children. – Gibran Khalil Gibran

There is much that is tragic about our world. There is also much that is beautiful. To be sure, a lot of the beauty extends to beyond this world. That beauty, that joy, comes from an all-encompassing, divine love.

This blog is meant to share that joy -- poetry, religion, the natural world, art, books, music, travel, history, and other lovely, beautiful topics. I find I have no wish to focus on the sad. I do realize, by the way, that a lot of history is sad. But we hardly need for me to highlight that.

One more thing/disclaimer: Religion, you might ask? I am a religious person, so much so that I fervently believe everyone should have the right to their own -- provided, of course, that it doesn't hurt others.

It is all about love and sharing.

Out beyond ideas of wrong and right, there is a field. I'll meet you there. -- Rumi
