In this rich tale that began with Eyes of Garnet, Mary Duncan
continues the saga of Catriona Robertson which began in the
windswept mountains of the Scottish Highlands and takes us on a
voyage to the rugged coast of 18th century Maine in this exciting
historical novel of adventure, magic and romance ... Sightless
Catriona Robertson has faced the perilous voyage across the sea to
be with her father, Angus Robertson, one of the many injured
Jacobites of the Rising of 1745 in Scotland. He was sentenced to
seven years of indentured servitude in the American Colonies. Cat,
the former Seer for clan Donnachaidh, has to keep a low profile in
colonial Boston while she tries to fit into the growing
commonwealth. However, her visions are guiding her to a place wild
and untamed, not in the bustling town of Boston, but in the
Province of Maine. But trouble follows Cat wherever she goes, as
Scottish pirate Greame Hay finds out. He may live to regret the day
he finds the feisty redhead aboard the ship he was looting, when he
takes her to the land of her visions and they settle with the
Lobster Clan of the Penobscot Indians. As battles are fought for
the country she lives in, Cat is faced with a different kind of
fight-one in a supernatural realm with a Mohawk Shaman bent on
seeing the Penobscot people decimated. Will her abilities be strong
enough to overpower this madman, or will he destroy her and the new
family she's found?
In this evocative memoir, this granddaughter of a bootlegger tells
the story of how she went out and got a life. Her father was a bus
driver who died when she was four; her mother worked in a bar to
support the kids. She did well in school and married a Protestant
minister. From the parsonage, she went to the Playboy Mansion,
where for many years she had a personal relationship with 60's guru
Max Lerner. Through Max and others, she developed a friendship with
DNA scientist, Francis Crick; a fascination for Henry Miller,
Simone de Beauvoir and pioneers of the sexual revolution. A United
Nations Conference took her to the Soviet Union, where she married
a second time and founded Moscow Shakespeare and Company Bookstore.
As a college professor. her research on playgrounds in troubled
countries took her to Belfast, Tehran and Managua. Mary lives
between California and Paris, where she created the Paris Writers
Group. She is actively involved with the literary community and is
writing a new book about love, literature and death on a Paris
street.
In this thrilling finale of the Eyes of Garnet trilogy, Catriona
Robertson is searching for her purpose. It is said in Scotland when
a Seer leaves their homeland, their powers of the Sight remain
behind. Though Cat never fully loses her powers, the sixth sense
she once had so intensely has diminished. And in the 18th century
Province of Maine, blindly staying ahead of trouble is an
all-consuming task. The Indians all over the northeast are becoming
more displaced as white settlers take their lands. The French,
who've lived peaceably with the natives for over a hundred years,
feel their place in the burgeoning new America threatened by the
insatiable English. And when Cat sees a young English soldier named
George Washington fire the first shot that sets the world to war,
she wonders if she and the settlement of Cape Rozier can remain out
of the impending confrontation. Add to that, the mysterious
discovery of pirate's gold on the beach of Cape Rozier draws in
kidnappers who will stop at nothing to claim it for themselves. The
last straw is when Cat doesn't see the treachery lurking in her own
back yard. Visions of Scotland and Maine confuse her further,
badgering her to make a monumental decision: remain in war-torn
America or return to Scotland.
Gregor Macgregor, an 18th century Scottish Highlander, has seen his
fair share of death. The Campbells saw to that with his father's
murder at the strange standing stones when he was ten. As one of
the hunted clan-as all Macgregors are-Gregor learned to melt into
the mountains and stay one step ahead of the hunters: Clan
Campbell. With no family left, the man-sized child roamed the
heather for two years before being taken in by Alexander Robertson,
the Chief of Clan Donnachaidh. Now a cocky man of twenty-one, and
contender for chief's guard, Gregor must prove himself at the Games
that his strength and cunning are worthy to serve. After taking his
safety at Blair Castle for granted for so long, Gregor once again
becomes entangled with the Campbells when the murders of several
Macgregors in his old hometown sound all too familiar. Could his
father's killer still be on the loose after all these years? Gregor
scoffs when he learns he's the killer's next intended victim, but
his bold confidence is shattered when the killer abducts the woman
he desires, leaving her worse than dead. Alexander assigns Gregor
the task of hunting down this butcher to be brought back to the
castle alive. But this may prove an impossible task, as his posse
is comprised of Macgregors who've all lost at the hands of this
Campbell.
Catriona Robertson has what 18th century Scottish Highlanders call
Second Sight. It's not all that rare, but in her family it's been
fatal. After having a vision of her brother's life-changing
accident at the Games at Blair Castle, then watching in horror as
it comes true, her family starts to believe in her powers. Cat
needs to find a way to harness her "gift" and heal her mother's
debilitating disease, but fate seems to have something else in
store. When the Pretender to the Scottish throne, the Jacobite
Prince Charles, decides to seize his rightful place from the
Hanoverian King George, her powers are put to the ultimate test.
Cat becomes an unwilling liaison between her clan Chief and the
Prince, foretelling the outcome of each battle of the Rising of
1745. Though warned of the outcome of their participation in the
fight, her father and brothers are drawn into it as if by
malevolent forces. Unwilling to let her visions of death come to
fruition, Cat does everything in her power to keep them out of
harm's way, finding herself thrust into the very heart of what she
fears the most.
