Rowena is content as a healer in thirteenth century Scotland....until she is taken hostage on charges of poisoning the English king. While imprisoned, she joins fellow prisoner MacDuff in a breakout. She has to make her way home without attracting English attention, but her feelings for MacDuff provide a complication.

I love romantasy, so I was very excited to see that this book had fantasy elements. You could also see the influence of Outlander, especially with Rowena's healing career, but I do really appreciate a FMC who has a passion and a vocation. I loved Rowena's dedication to healing, as well as the setting. Far more romance novels are set in during one of the latter Jacobite rebellions, and I loved that this one was set in the also chaotic, earlier reign of Robert the Bruce.

The book was a quick read and would really recommend to anyone who wants a romance between two equals set in historic Scotland.
