Mairi MacKenzie can bring the dead back to life but it is an unbearable curse. She hides away in the Glen of Winds, allowing folk to believe she's a banshee. Once counted among Scotland's greatest warriors, Sir Gare MacTaggert hasn't lifted a sword in years because of a battlefield tragedy that broke his soul. Now he must marry, yet can't wed any woman, dead as he is inside. He seeks the banshee's aid to restore his will to live. But together they must face a greater challenge: the forbidden love that could destroy them.
