Scotland, 1156.
Malcolm MacHeth, one time Earl of Ross, languishes a prisoner in Roxburgh Castle while his sons raise rebellion in his name. Optimistically, the King of Scots promises the earldom of Ross to landless Norman knight, Sir William de Lanson, if he can somehow defeat the infamous MacHeths.
It wasn’t quite how William’s disgraced wife Christian dreamed of coming home. Capture by the strange and ferocious Adam MacHeth was hardly part of her plan either, although she and William quickly become pawns in his.
Adam, warrior and seer, fights for his father’s freedom and for his family’s right to claim the kingdom of the Scots. Plagued by waking dreams which threaten his sanity and his life, he’s learned to use his prophecies to further his family’s goals. But when he abducts his enemy’s lady, his dreams and his desires are suddenly more personal.
Surrounded by intrigue, ambition and betrayal, Christian must choose between loyalty and love in order to keep a fragile peace for her people and for the man she loves beyond all reason.

Have you ever read one of those books that you can't put down but simultaneously want it never to end? This was one of those books for me. I was reading it in the hairdresser and in the restaurant and in the car. I'm aware that it won't be the same for everyone though. The book starts with the H kidnapping the h, who is the wife of one his family's enemies. The h is living in disgrace for an apparent indiscretion. The h's husband is openly "living" with his mistress, who is one of the h's attendants. Added to this, the h's face is scarred from a fire when she was a child and she wears a cloth mask covering that half of her face. The H is a complex and intriguing character. A fierce Scottish warrior but also a seer and it's hard to tell when he's having visions. The h and her husband have come to take up residence in the h's old family home and from there her husband hopes to defeat the H and his brother. If he manages this, then the King of Scotland will make him the Earl of Ross. The true Earl of Ross has been imprisoned by the king for past twenty years and he is the H's father. The story develops slowly and this might put off impatient readers, but I tell you that the waiting for me was so worthwhile. I love the way this author writes about the interactions between her main characters. She weaves the history in but it isn't overwhelming. The declaration, when it eventually comes from the H, is swoon-worthy and brought tears to my eyes. I loved this story and it's going straight into my favourites folder.Product details

Rebel of Ross edition by Mary Lancaster Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Rebel of Ross by Mary Lancaster was an interesting look into Scotland during the early 12th century. The author did an amazing job of bringing this era to life for the reader, and obviously a lot of research was done. Of course, it probably helps that she is Scottish herself!
I admired the main female character, Christian de Lanson. She is in a loveless marriage, and has a facial disfigurement, but despite this, she is strong and passionate. She is captured by Adam MacHeth, who is on a mission to free his father, who has been imprisoned since he was very young, and then to help him take back Scotland’s throne. Adam and Christian end up having an inexplicable connection between one another, and fate keeps throwing them together time and again. They are obviously on opposite sides when it comes to who they are loyal to, so they have to find out which side they stand on if they are ever to find a way to be together.
I love the time period that this novel is set in. Not only am I a huge fan of novels about Scotland’s history, but I also try to read as much about England’s King Henry II as possible. The fact that this novel includes both elements grabbed my attention right away. The author did a great job of portraying the events and individuals of this specific time period, all while staying as true to history as possible. As it was so long ago, much of the history of this time is either lost or is very one-sided.
There are a lot of characters that have pretty large parts in this book, and at times it does get a little confusing, especially at the beginning. I was a bit lost in the first chapter or so. Once the action picked up, I was hooked, and ended up really enjoying it. I would definitely recommend it for historical fiction fans who enjoy a bit of a love story! I give it a FOUR out of FIVE stars!
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. The characters were well developed, and believable for the time period. I look forward to the continuation of Christian and Adam's love story!
I wish the second book was available! !!
How could I resist all the positive reviews and the intriguing idea of a warrior/seer paired with a scarred/masked heroine? Rebel of Ross started a little slowly, and there were many characters and viewpoints to keep straight. I was a bit unsure about how the author would handle the H's gift/curse of foresight, but it was compelling and not at all silly. My favorite scenes were the interactions between Adam and Christian--I just melt at the idea of a love that is destined to be! I enjoyed the book well enough during my reading, but I have been surprised after finishing how often I have gone back to reread highlighted parts.
