And from Jackie?
Hopefully to see the bigger picture and remember that everyone did things for a reason. Get to the heart of a person and learn what those reasons are before judging.
But she knew he had benefitted in so many more ways.
Darach and his cousins had made an impact, showing Robert firsthand what his countrymen were willing to do for him. The lengths they would go. That he was beloved enough that four warriors would devote their lives to protecting him long before he became king.
Yet when all was said and done, it had taken many to protect the future of Scotland.
Courage had been rallied.
Fears had been faced.
Some might say in the end that a single Claddagh ring started it all, but Jackie knew better.
It had not only been the passion found between her and her Scottish warrior but what took root so long ago when a Celtic goddess saw how strong love could truly be.
How it had the potential to withstand time.
How it could affect so many others.
It was the perfect foundation for everything to come.
The true birth of Clan MacLomain and Clan Broun.
The End
Nothing is ever as it seems. Though Heidrek showed Jackie one thing when she looked at the MacLomain tapestry, something else altogether brews in Scandinavia as a result of his time in Scotland. Certain gods are unhappy and new enemies threaten his people. What’s worse? Heidrek knows women from the distant future will once more be amongst them. Though he suspects his heart will be tied to one, it’s now in everyone’s best interest that he keep her and her kin away.
Find out what happens next with Heidrek in Rise of a Viking, The MacLomain Series: Viking Ancestors’ Kin, Book One. Coming August 9, 2016. Available now for pre-order.
