Skyehag - Albert Marsolais

. .

Résumé :
In 1705, the stability of Clan MacLeod on the Isle of Skye, Scotland was threatened by a coalition of greedy witches and selfish relatives trying to overthrow the ailing chieftain and seize the clan's fabled treasure. Elspeth MacLeod is called home to face charges of witchcraft and arrives to find her clan in turmoil. She calls on her friend and physician, Malcolm Forrester to support her and the chieftain. But Elspeth must confront her troubled past, and Malcolm his inner demons if they are to be successful in their mission. ...an intriguing story that deftly handles issues of power, greed, fear, and solidarity with sophistication and an engrossing command of narrative. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Skyehag to fans of the series, and historical fiction readers everywhere in general. - Reviewed by K.C. Finn for Readers' Favorite
