In book four of the Order of the Dragon Knights, mystery writer Deirdre Flanagan goes to Scotland for her thirtieth birthday and walks into a mysterious fog that opened into a real-life battle. Though believing she’d stumbled upon a medieval re-enactment, she soon learns she’s time traveled to the 13th century.
Angus MacKay is returning from France to Scotland after participating in a tournament. He’s weary from self-hatred and weighed down by guilt over the death of his sister, but he’s determined to fight an evil druid and free his homeland from the druid’s tyranny.
Deirdre is a kickass woman, probably the strongest of the heroines so far in the series. Angus was just as hardheaded as his brothers, which I liked. His sense of responsibility is both a curse and his redemption. Their love was a beautiful thing.
As always, I enjoyed the side characters. I would love spin-off stories with Cormac Murray as well as Robert Sinclair, and it’s awesome that Ms. Morgan has already written stories for Conn and the other Fenian warriors. The Fianna—a new group of warriors loyal to the Fae—were the perfect help that Angus and Deirdre needed on their quest.
Adam and Meggie’s story is up next, and this is the one I’ve been dying to read since I started this series.
Readers who enjoy time travel Scottish/Irish romance, pick up Dragon Knight’s Shield. You won’t regret it.
