Prologue: Into the woods

Of all the horrors and distress of war, there is nothing like when royalty is captured. Princess Anya Elizabeth Mary Coventry faced this fate when a band of Scottish knights kidnapped her. Clan Chief Lard Caelan MacDonnell will do anything to seek vengeance for his parent's death, even starting a war. Caelan does not know the young lass in tattered clothes he captured is his sworn enemy's daughter, and Anya would like to keep it that way. If you are not prepared for battle, don't start a war. Both will have to realize that there is something greater than vengeance and freedom. Love.
