Description
"Shana Abé breathes new life into ancient legends in this powerful, passionate and engaging tale.". "Shana Abé writes with intense, unforgettable emotion.". HTML:The curse will last one hundred full years....
A notoriously fierce soldier, Marcus Kincardine wears his clan's tartan as a symbol of his heritage--and a reminder of the curse that haunts his kin. To rid them of this evil, the legend says, Marcus must wed a fabled warrior maiden with hair like an angel's halo, eyes the color of show more the rarest heather, and an extraordinary gift that makes her more formidable than any army. But first he must win the most desperate battle of his life...the one for her mind, her body, and her heart.
Lady Avalon d'Farouche can't deny she bears the telltale marks of the Kincardine legend, nor can she disown the strange, mystical intuition that allows her to see things others cannot. Yet Avalon believes she alone holds the key to her destiny--a future in which no man will own her. So when Marcus Kincardine seizes her for his own purposes, she never expects him to ignite a fiery passion within her. Still, she refuses to sacrifice her soul and fulfill the legend by surrendering to desire. But how long can she deny him...and how long will he let her?

I really want to love this book. But I just can't. I can understand what the main female character must have gone through as a young child. But I really couldn't understand her adamancy throughout the book of not wanting to marry the hero just because she vowed to hate him due to his father. Seriously, when you feel something for him to.
I expected a lot from this book with the legend of curse and all but it was just okay read. Do not read this book especially after reading drakon series. Drakon series is just amazing.

A quick and interesting read, but somehow it fell flat for me. I often found myself rooting against Avalon accepting the curse and Marcus.
