    "Perhaps I could run away," she murmured to herself, stopping to look at the low hanging brach of a willow and determining whether or not it would hold her weight. "From what? To where?" She turned at the voice, nearly sinking into the ankle deep snow as she spied Lord Grimshaw picking his way towards her. "From everything I know, to everything I don't." "Why? Are you bored by the mundane already?" "Aren't you?" "I survive the mundane," he cocked his head to one side, searching for words in the air, "because certain people make it extraordinary."

    The youngest child of the formidable and powerful MacLeod family of Ellesmure Island, Eilean is all but neglected in the rowdy environment of Stormway Castle - where a girl has not been born to the ruling family in centuries. Her seven older brothers dominate the time and attention of her parents, and her family seems utterly perplexed by what to do with a girl aside from waiting for her to grow up so she can get married. Bright and intelligent, Eilean's potential is only seen by her good friend, Alexander Leslie, a ward of the MacLeod's and a Lord from a neighboring kingdom. When Eilean's fathers and brothers are called off to war, the burden of running Stormway Castle and the surrounding estates falls into Eilean's unprepared hands. She struggles to maintain control of her family's lands as conflict, famine, and her own ignorance threaten to pull Ellesmure into ruin. When an old friend returns and provides Eilean with the support she desperately needs to survive, she finds herself torn between her heart's desires and her growing love of duty to the people of the island.
