Hooked on Windmaster, You Can't Return Home #mfrwauthor #mfrwhooks

Windmaster – choose between the sea, magic... or love.

Prophecy decreed Ellspeth marry the Archmage. However, despite the attraction to him, Ellspeth’s heart fought the announced destiny. For to be with Lord Dal meant she had to take all that came with him, including magic. Love meant the loss of her ship and crew because to a mage the sea meant death.

Excerpt:
 
     Dal looked beyond Ellspeth to the trail outside, its length still lined with stern-faced villagers. His thoughts kept going back to earlier, happier times. He had not expected his return to be acknowledged with a day of celebration, but he never thought he would be greeted with a death sentence. And not just for him. His anger threatened to erupt at the risk to Ellspeth. But what could he do? His magic prevented him from reaching the circlet. And Ellspeth was the only one in the world who had magic, but whose powers weren’t active.
    Ellspeth broke the deep silence that filled the room. “Eilidh, King Fraunces will be told. Yours is not the only clan being threatened.” Ellspeth hesitated then looked at Dal. “I am gathering weapons to stop the attacks.”
    “We need the amber,” Dal blurted out. “The teardrop that MarEilidh gave me. The one with the winged insect in it.”
    “Padraig has it. He claimed it for his dowry gift.”
    “We need it.” Ellspeth leaned forward on her stool. “Can you speak to him? Or should I?”
    Eilidh sat back in her chair. Her arms found their usual resting place. “I will do what I can. By rights it should be Dal’s. It was given him by his great-grandmother. In the meantime, eat and rest. No one will bother you in the place of sanctuary.”
    “Thank you.” Dal and Ellspeth replied in unison.
    “May the ancestors guide you and protect you.”
    At the obvious dismissal, they rose.
    Eilidh waited until Dal turned back. “And Dal, you have my blessing.” Although she had spoken to him, Dal saw his mother looked straight at Ellspeth. How did she know? At the door he framed his features into an impassive mask that hid his true feelings.
