Dark times have fallen upon Scotland.
King David II is a prisoner of England. Angus McKenna, revered chief of Clan MacDougall, and his son-in-law Duncan McEwan sit in a dungeon in Edinburgh, accused of crimes against their king and country. Their wives are missing.
Can devotion, honor and fealty light a candle in the darkness?
Invoking the Bond of the Seven Clans, Nial McKee, son-in-law to Angus McKenna sets out to discover the truth behind the charges. While he enlists the help of his good friends Caelen McDunnah and Rowan Graham, his lovely wife Bree appeals to friends of her own for a much different kind of assistance.
But time is running out for Angus and Duncan. Friendship and love of family alone might not be enough to save McKenna’s Honor.
This is a novella and is usually in the top 100 at Amazon.
An old adage declares there is no honor among thieves. The same can be said of traitors. Traitors often hide in the open, in plain sight. The truth is there for people who choose to see it, for those who are determined to see things as they are and not as they wish them to be.
In reality, traitors are nothing more than pretenders. Master manipulators. Actors in a play in which only they know who is who and what is what.
The people around them are but an audience, often seeing only what they wish to see.
When a traitor performs, openly defending the weak, speaking only with highest regard for his king and country and displaying an unequaled façade of honor, well, who would question his fealty? The traitor reveals only what he wishes others to see and only what he knows they wish to believe.
All the while the traitor silently laughs at the folly he has created, taking great pleasure in the absurdity of the entire situation.
And if he is extremely careful the world will never know who or what he truly is.
However, as is often the case with thieves, traitors, and ne’er-do-wells, fate steps in at the most unexpected times. It rips away the heavy curtain of subterfuge and duplicity, to openly display to the world not what it wishes to see, but what it, in fact, must see.
Such inaugurations to the truth are often painful and traumatic, leaving the newly inaugurated feeling stunned, stupefied and bitter. For some, the only means of survival is outright denial. They shun the truth, cursing it, preferring instead to live in denial. Mayhap because they love the traitor so much, it is easy to justify the traitor’s behavior. Or, they may not wish to believe they could have been so easily duped.
