Katie and Collin MacDonald set out for Nova Scotia, leaving behind their beloved Highlands and hoping they can find a new home and peace with it--and that once they cross the ocean, they can somehow find Collin's twin brother Ian, who, after trading places with Collin, is bound for Virginia as an indentured servant.
Ian nearly died on his voyage--he would have if Elizabeth Campbell hadn't saved him and hidden him away, sneaking him food and care whenever she could. Although she's a member of the Campbell clan, whom Ian has always hated, he finds that his plan of escaping and making his way back to Scotland will be more complicated than he anticipated, because he can't just leave Eliza, and others who were forced into indentured servitude simply for being poor, to face fourteen years of undeserved indentured service. Although he yearns for Scotland, he also realizes it's time for him to look out for others and not only himself.
This is the third book in a series (and you DO need to read the other two first), and it's the best. I really loved the other two books, but this one was even better. I liked being able to see more of Katie's and Collin's story, but also really loved delving into Ian's story and seeing more about what had made him the person he is and also seeing him change and grow. Great story with a gripping plot and great characters.
Highly recommend!
5 stars.
