Remembering Ashby by Heather Long


Remembering Ashby by Heather Long

Adam Fraser has been chosen by The Fraser to go to Ashby Crossing for the May Day celebration. A young lad with quite a strong brogue, is smitten the moment he locks eyes with one of the priestesses that he is supposed to safely escort to Ashby Crossing. The priestesses are supposed to perform a service/pay homage to the Goddess of the Hunt, the lands, and the people of the mountains.

The maidens are not to have personal contact with the Blackborn, but when Adam suggests it would be much quicker for the ladies to ride upon the horses with his clansmen, the spark of desire hits him hard. Adam did not come to Ashby Crossing to look for a woman, but now no matter how much it is forbidden for him to so much as desire her, it is too late to stop his heart from falling in love very quickly.

Melanie has been preparing to honor the Goddess for such a long time now, but she can not help the feelings that are building inside for Adam. Over hearing a conversation between the Sorcerer Orywen, Melanie must do something to put the order back in motion. She is afraid of what Orywen has planned, and switches her mask with another of the priestesses. During the celebration horrible things happen to the girl, but Melanie is safe in the arms of Adam. Upon returning to the camp, she is assaulted by the Sorcerer, and is forced into submission and taken away from Adam. Melanie wants to be with her beloved and run away from Orywen, but since she is under his spell, she must trust that Adam will find her, and take her away.

Remembering Ashby by Heather Long is a story that makes you wonder what it would be like to be in Melanie's shoes. Chosen to serve the Goddess, or to follow your heart in love. The hero of the story has a very strong brogue to his voice and sometimes it gets hard to follow. Besides that, it was a beautifully written story, and I liked it very much, Ms. Long is an exceptional storyteller. 4 Hearts
