“One more, dear…one more,” the midwife urged.   

With these words author Lorrieann Russell takes us back to the beginning. 29^th May, 1588, Fylbrigge Manor, Aberdoir Scotland, and the birth of her hero, William Fylbrigge. This is literally the place where it all begins. The birth of the child, and the death of the mother, and when the father soon follows, the real adventure begins.

It would take some doing on all their parts to overcome the nightmares of Aberdoir, but overcome it they would, and in the end, a legend would be born – the legend of William Fylbrigge

Lorrieann Russell paints a masterful canvas full or crisp colors and broad, sweeping strokes in this ‘prequel’ to the stories that began with My Brother’s Keeper, and continued with In the Wake of Ashes. By Right of Blood is a fitting tale that stands on its own, yet adds to the stories already told. Unlike so many other sequels and prequels, this one delivers. It is a story full of surprises with every turn of the page, and it is indeed a page turner.

Here you’ll learn where William learned of the old ways. You’ll see the friendship; the vow to ‘watch your back’ that develops between Sean and William. You’ll learn why Adrian Tearlach hates Sean and William, and you’ll see the first inklings of love between William and Mehlyndia.

This is a great story well told by a master story teller. You won’t want to put it down until you’ve finished, and then you’ll want to go back and read it again.
