This book is the first part in a trilogy about three witch sisters in medievel Scotland. The second is The Betrayal, the third is The Knight and The Seer. If you can suspend disbelief-which honestly, is what most romances ask you to do-then I think you'll enjoy this book. The other reviewers have good points, about unlikely names, or if this was that time period, the sisters would have been killed for being witches. BUT, the story is a sweet, fantastical tale-a fairy tale filled with creatures like winged horses, trolls, crones, seers, and yes, even fairies:). It's light, enjoyable reading. If you want truthful and throught provoking-find another book. But if your looking for a lil magic to carry you away from your everyday woes, then pick up this book!
Grab your own highlander and read this book

This was the first book I've read by Ruth Ryan Langan and it held my attention until the very end. I managed to read it in a few hours without so much as putting the book now. Though a few of the minor characters were dull the main characters were interesting. Allegra and Merrick were interesting characters, as was the plot.
Simple and Passionate start to an anticipated series

Ruth Langan has a way of drawing her reader into the passion of the moment. Simple yet complex characters lead the way through a beautifully set fairytale story of witches and warriors. The passion is stoked between sheets of intrigue and mystery, building until it overwhelms the prime characters.A quick read, a well-thought-out plot. Let's hope the second book "The Betrayal" holds true to the first.
