A Scottish medieval adventure about the youngest in a war-band who must free her family from a castle prison after knights attack her homewith all the excitement of Rangers Apprentice and perfect for fans of heroines like Alanna from The Song of the Lioness series.

One dark night, Drests sheltered life on a remote Scottish headland is shattered when invading knights capture her family, but leave Drest behind. Her father, the Mad Wolf of the North, and her beloved brothers are a fearsome war-band, but now Drest is the only one who can save them.

Hunted by a bandit with a dark link to her familys past, aided by a witch whom she rescues from the stake, Drest travels through unwelcoming villages, desolate forests, and haunted towns. Every time she faces a challenge, her five brothers speak to her in her mind about courage and her role in the war-band. But on her journey, Drest learns that the war-band is legendary for terrorizing the land. If she frees them, theyll not hesitate to hurt the gentle knight whos become her friend.

Drest thought that all she wanted was her family back; now she has to wonder what their freedom would really mean. Is she her fathers daughter or is it time to become her own legend?
