Читать книгу Claimed By The Wolf Prince - Marguerite Kaye - Страница 4

When my editor first suggested that I write a paranormal Historical Undone! trilogy, I must admit I was a bit daunted. Though I’d dabbled with Regency vampires in Bitten by Desire, and a little bit of shape-shifting in The Highlander and the Sea Siren, the paranormal element of each of these stories was really quite subtle.

Thinking about it though, I began to get excited at the prospect of juxtaposing a real historical world with one which existed only in my imagination. Not only was it a brilliant creative challenge, but the inherent tension of two worlds colliding offered some amazing romantic possibilities. What would it be like to have a hero from one world and a heroine from another? How would they reconcile their differences, and how would those differences enhance the sensual tension and allure burgeoning between them?

Encouraged by my amazingly supportive editor, I let my imagination run wild and created the world of the Faol, or Clan Wolf. These Highland shape-shifters live on the darkly seductive island of Kentarra off the west coast of Scotland. The trilogy is set in the early seventeen hundreds when the feudal clan system still ruled the Highlands.

I hope you enjoy this first story in the trilogy which features a feisty heroine whose circumstances make her ripe for rebellion and a dangerous hero who thinks himself immune to love and who is, as he says himself, more, much more than a man. And as if that isn’t enough, the heroine is thrust into a completely alien world that is both fascinating and threatening in equal measure.

Creating the world of the Faol stretched my creative juices far beyond anything I’ve ever done before, but it was a brilliant experience. I loved writing these stories. I really hope you love reading them.
