This is an effervescent novel in the backdrop of Middle Ages and the stunningly beautiful coasts of Scottish Highlands. It is the story of tribal leaders of Athlin and Dunbayne. Radcliffe has spectacularly drawn passionate feelings of Alleyn, the Earl of Athlin, and his quest for love and honour who faces dreadful challenges in his way. An unforgettable and magnificent romance . . . a true gem!

The Castles of Athlin and Dunbayne by Ann Radcliffe Years ago, when Young Earl Osbert of Castle Athlin was a boy, his father was ambused and slain by Baron Malcolm of Dunbayne. Now Osbert has come into his majority, and in the company of a sturdy and heroic young peasant named Alleyn he's gone to avenge his father's murder. What waits for them at the castle of Dunbayne is not vengeance but a fate that neither one of them imagines: not just conquest or defeat, but a terrible challenge -- and the romance of a lifetime.
