This is the third book in the Dragon Knight series, about the youngest brother Alastair. His power came from land so he ran to the sea after their sister's death. He became captain of a Viking trading ship.
Fiona was a research assistant helping translate ancient languages in Ireland. She is working on a stone tablet and visits the dig as part of Rory MacGregor's staff. She soon finds a sacred place and finds herself in 1206 Ireland on a slave block.
There are a couple of things that don't work well for me in this story. They kind of disturbed the suspension of disbelief for me. The story is good, just not as enjoyable and satisfying as the previous two stories. I am willing to discuss particulars with anyone after you've read the book. I have exchanged messages with Mary Morgan about my issues.
Their paths cross at the slave block where Alastair buys Fiona with plans to return her to her family. And thus begins their quest journey together.
Each brother had a part in the circumstances surrounding their sister's death. Each feels responsible and guilty and unworthy of redemption. Alastair's pain is spiritually deeper than the others. The healing is harder for everyone to endure as most of it is done separated from Fiona and family. The others had a period of separation, but circumstances are very different between Fiona and Alastair. He is eventually successful in his quest and returns.
