The Fire Tree - Book 4
by Ken Peter Kirk
Janine grew up as an only child of desperately poor crofters. Running away from her position as a servant to escape violence, she found shelter at Brech Woorlach, the grand stately home of the Duke and Duchess of Bo'Ness. There, it is revealed to her that she is actually somebody of great importance. She tries to explain that there has been a mistake but learns that her true past is not the one that she recalls.
Elsewhere, in the Scottish Highlands, Queen Annis of The Westlands, is recovering from a wound sustained on the battlefield. Heading home to Fort Augustus, she encounters a Royal Courier from King James, travelling with two escorts who mean him harm. Should Annis intervene or ignore his plight? Whatever her choice, it will impact profoundly on the future of Scotland.
Janine receives a warning from a phantom apparition that appears to make no sense. She soon discovers that Brech Woorlach isn’t quite the establishment that it appears to be. When a Royal Courier arrives from London with a document, for her eyes only, she is shocked by its contents.
A struggling author
I wanted to write a book for most of my life, but I failed miserably, over and over. Then, suddenly, it just happened. I made yet one more attempt to write a book and I ended up writing a dozen of the things! Ha! Ha! Ha!
