Laird Maxwell left the room. Now for the rest of the plan. Moving down into the royal stables, he found the carriage that would take the King back to his castle, the one he always used. He made sure it would catastrophically fail. Not immediately, but that it would.
Robert Maxwell turned into to his chambers to ready for his own trip. One that wasn’t prepared or official, but would be necessary.
The next day, the King’s carriage would collapse at some point on their journey to the lowlands, rendering the King and his caravan useless. Maxwell archers would arrive and slay the King’s men and the King himself, leaving the evidence to point to MacKenzie men.
After several days, a hunt would ensue to find the missing king. When his body was recovered, a sealed will would be found on his person, detailing Laird Maxwell as the next heir to the crown.. With the sealed copy on Laird Maxwell’s person, supposedly given to him in secret by the King himself, he would fake his surprise at the revelation and take the crown for himself.
Scotland would be his. And the MacKenzies would pay for what they did.
Especially the MacDonald woman that should have been killed twenty years ago.

A dark fog settles on the Highlands...
With Scotland still reeling from the reveal of the Maxwell conspiracy, Gavin MacKenzie and Elyn MacDonald are finally ready to satisfy their racing hearts and wed. But, when a missive from the King arrives and demands the MacKenzies pay for their treason, Gavin must leave the warmth of Elyn's embrace to cross the desolate highlands and correct his past mistakes.
Elyn MacDonald fears the worst. The chilling anxiety that runs through her veins isn't just for Gavin's safety, but for her own. As she steals off into the night for a breath of fresh air, hands reach from the darkness and pull her away from her home. She soon finds herself trapped in the sorrowful and dilapidated dungeon in the heart of Maxwell Land. As she grips the iron bars that hold her prisoner, she only hopes that Gavin has escaped a similar fate…
As Gavin and Elyn are torn from each other, their love is put to the ultimate test in Highlander's Kiss, book two of Misty Highlands.
