SYNOPSIS:

The heart’s most extraordinary battle is the one fought for love.

Haunted by a family legacy that threads magic through the ages, Captain Ewan MacDougall and his ghostly crew sail between worlds—freeing enslaved people. A worthy goal, yet he longs for what eludes him—true love. When he crosses paths with a legendary siren of the sea, bound to a cruel, power-hungry madman, Ewan finds the woman destined to claim his heart.

Trapped and forced to use her voice to lure ships into the clutches of evil, the spark in Ewan’s eyes awakens hope in Lorelei’s soul—a chance to break free and protect her Fae family. Yet, the wicked monster holding her captive will stop at nothing to kill the human who touches and loves her as no one has ever done before.

Will the fated connection they share break the chains of dark magic or claim two more victims in a quest to find the Stone of Faith?

ENJOY AN EXCERPT:

As they lay on the deck, a hand touched his beard. “You aren’t a ghost?” Her whitened fingers came to her mouth, and then she licked them. “Flour?” The sight of her tongue flicking over her digits had Ewan biting back a groan. His gaze found her—electric blue eyes. Up close, white rings glowed around the edges as silver flecks sparkled in the middle. He coughed, and a puff of flour hit her face, making her scrunch her nose and then sneeze.
 
Ewan’s hand brushed her hair from her eyes, leaving a trail of white. “Bless ye.” He chuckled when more dust puffed at her. The flour was an old trick from his and Doug’s childhood. A prank they played on Mrs. A using her fright of Dunstaffnage Castle’s ghost to terrify her. When she discovered the missing flour and its usage, they both had to help her in the kitchen for a week. The chore wasn’t all bad. Mrs. A would take pity on them and feed them chocolate-chip cookies, their favorite.
 
Doug’s boots appeared beside him. “And what do we have here? A siren washed up on our deck?”
 
Ewan sat up, pulling the redhead with him. She followed, clinging to him as she shook.
 
His eyes roamed her body and found a gash on her leg. “A damsel in distress, Doug.”

GUEST POST:

Please welcome Margaret Izard, the author of today's featured book, to the blog to give us a little background about her characters.

Karen: Did you have a minor character who insisted on playing a larger role in the story. If so, please tell us about it.

Margaret: By the end of the first book in the seven-book Stones of Iona series, readers have already met most of the main characters they’ll follow through the journey. That wasn’t an accident. I layered in characters who might have seemed like minor players at first, knowing full well they were destined to take on much larger roles as the series developed.
So while I didn’t necessarily have a character “insist” on stepping forward, I did design the series so that the world feels interconnected. A brother, cousin, or ally you meet in passing early on may later take center stage in their own book. Watching those threads grow into full storylines is one of my favorite parts of writing a series—it gives readers that sense of discovery, like they’ve been part of the family all along.
