Lainn's Destiny (Alma Chronicles Book 2)

In search of his life’s path, Lainn, the boy, yearns to end slavery in the American Colonies. During his youth he battles English tyranny by sword and pen. As a man, Lainn finds his future united with the spirit of rebellion swirling through his adopted homeland. He must find a way to preserve it. Two women haunt his soul—one beloved, the other a sworn enemy.“Strong, well-crafted characters transcend a mere tale of the hardships of Colonial life—they define the American quest for freedom from oppression.” Bardsong, the Journal for Celebrating the Celtic Spirit “The reader is quickly swept into a world of war and hatred. You ride along on the trip to America and enter the pre-Revolutionary War world of the colonists who could no longer stand for the oppression of the British rule. Real people, places and events are seamlessly introduced throughout this magnificent tale. This story reminds readers that the freedoms we enjoy today and even take for granted were hard won through the sweat and blood of those who came before us… a powerful memorable tale.” Coffee Time Romances Five Cups“Heathcotte writes perceptively about the emotions of early settlers, of their fears of political revenge, animals, Indians, and disease. She reveals her characters’ personal relationships, their loves and hopes, their pride and their spiritual convictions. Her historic research gives depth to details of Colonial life, building suspense as the Colonies separate from England. She is a gifted writer with a compelling story to tell. I loved Lainn’s Destiny.Kiki Swanson, BiographerAn Eppie finalist in historical fiction in its previous publication.
