The Other Side of Dusk
The Eilan Water Trilogy Book 1
by Cherime MacFarlane
Genre: Historical Romance
The Romans are already
there in force. The Antonine Wall stretches from the firth of Clyde to the
firth of Forth. While the Romans pursue conquest on a grand scale, the Scotti
are infiltrating Pictish territory slowly.
Ualan’s people are a mix of Pict and Scott. They face the Romans on one hand
and the Picts on the other. Their hold is tenuous. Things take a terrible turn
when Ualan’s someone kills his mother and sells him into slavery to a Roman
woman.
She needs a stud, a young one who won’t challenge the master. Her life depends
on producing an heir. Ualan hates her and all she stands for. Her plot
backfires when an old soldier mentors the boy. He helps Ualan escape with their
son. At home, his troubles are far from over. War with his Pictish kin looms,
and the master seeks the child he declares is his, not Ualan’s.

"A story of
kinship, hard men and a constant readiness to face conflict are key ingredients
in this superb story. The romantic interludes are painted with a deft hand and
given the story, I would credit the sexual scenes as ‘hot’, rather than ‘cozy
and heartwarming’.5 stars
