Ainslee of Kengarvey rides across the Scottish Highlands with deadly skill. She can fight with sword and dagger better than most men. But even her talents cannot save her when Sir Gabel de Amalville gives chase. The Anglo-Norman knight serves King Edward and must destroy the rebellious MacNairn clan to prove his loyalty. He captures Ainslee, the youngest daughter of Duggan MacNairn, and takes her to his remote castle. Gabel plans to use her as leverage against her father. Instead, he finds himself drawn to the fierce, red-haired woman who refuses to submit. As war spreads through the Highlands, Gabel faces an impossible choice between duty to his king and the desires of his heart.
