Abducted at the Altar

Narrator Tim Campbell makes the listen a page-turner with his fantastic flexibility between French accented English and the Scottish brogue. He positively takes the characters Wright creates to a higher level! Fiona MacLeod is a dutiful child, particularly to her family. She loves her mother and father very much. He seems to be a weak man, but with a good heart.

Fiona has her dreams, perhaps more than the average highland lass, thanks to her mother teaching her how to read and write and the hours of reading together. When she meets St. Briac she is intrigued with him, spending time questioning him about the places he's lived. The antagonist whom we find has reasons to do what he does, is misguided with some mistruths.

He is quite the unsavory sort, but Fiona's father doesn't see his bad character for he hides it with smiles and a lordly demeanor. Her father betrothes her to him without her consent. Should she do as her father wishes?

On her deathbed, Eleanor extracts a promise from her husband, Magnus But he knows that nothing will come of the visit, because Magnus has arranged for Fiona to be married to Ramsay MacAskills, a move that will help settle the tension between the two clans. Unfortunately, Fiona is very uncomfortable with the match, but fears she has no choice.
