Very much enjoyed this tale of battle and love in Ireland!
I love stories about the Fey/Fairies and this is a great one. The heroine, Meghan, has a fairy birthmark that others see as a curse, shun her, and are afraid of her. She is young, but not unwise. A girl who speaks her mind and doesn't play games. A refreshing heroine!
Revelin is a wonderful hero, I really liked him, and the way he treated Meghan. He makes a few mistakes along the way, but learns quickly from his mistakes and rectifies them. He is also wise and loving.
A great story!

Meghan O’Neill was born with a strawberry birthmark on her cheek. In the 1500s this was considered by some to mean she is marked by Satan while others thought it meant the person was the product of fairies. Raised by her nurse, Una, Meghan has been sheltered from people, hiding her mark to keep from being killed. The morning she saves the life of handsome Revelin Butler her whole life changes when she falls in love.
Set in Ireland in the 1500s this story has a lot of the English/Irish history and bloodshed. Since I have no interest in history I was pretty lost for all of the history talk. The story of Meghan interested me much more and she was an appealing character even if she put up with Revelin’s bullshit. Revelin, on the other hand, I didn’t like very much. He took Meghan’s virginity even while he still planned to wed another woman. Then he just cast Meghan aside. Yeah, I thought she could do much better than him. He redeemed himself a bit by the end, but I still don’t like him. If you like history then this is a good book to read. All-in-all it’s not a bad story and I enjoyed the folklore.
