Medieval Monday Blog Hop with Mary Morgan

Picture
 Today I'm welcoming Mary Morgan to  the Medieval Monday blog hop as she  shares the next installment in our  First Encounter series from her book,  Dragon Knight's Axe.

 Snippet:

 An inspection…

 Then a third man jumped down from  the boat and circled around her. “’Tis  clothing I have never seen. Perchance, she is one of them.”
Fiona backed away from the men. Good God, they were looking at her like some sort of specimen. She retreated right into the arms of a fourth man.
“Whoa, little elf, can I be of service?”
She stumbled away from him, but received a huge smile.
“Do not try and use your charms on her. It is Alastair’s slave,” grumbled the first man.
Alastair pointed at Fiona. “She is not my slave, Gunnar.”
Gunnar crossed his arms over his chest. “Tell me, why did you buy her then?”
Placing his hands on his hips, he glared at all of them. “I will take her back to the O’Quinlan.”
Fiona flinched. What was he saying? Who was this other O’Quinlan? And why did her captor’s name sound familiar?
Something snapped inside of her. “Like hell you will.”
                                                * * *
Follow along next week for Mary's next snippet on Barbara Bettis’s blog

My snippet for this week is on Mary's blog: HERE

Leave a comment for a chance to win a digital copy of Dragon Knight’s Axe by Mary Morgan.

Blurb:
Alastair MacKay, a battled-scarred Dragon Knight flees to the sea to separate himself from his fae-given power connecting him to the land. But it is on land that he rescues a woman from a slave trader in Ireland. It is through Fiona he steps back inadvertently into a world filled with magic—taking on the role of protector and at the same time leading him on a journey to confront his greatest regret and fears. 
Research assistant, Fiona O’Quinlan loves translating ancient artifacts at Trinity College. When she falls asleep on an archeological dig, she awakens in another time. She soon discovers a Dragon Knight’s relic has been entrusted into her care. Determined to return the artifact to the Great Glen, Fiona is unprepared for the danger ahead—losing her heart and soul to Alastair “Beast” MacKay.
Will their love be strong enough to soothe the beast and heal the man? Or will Death swing its axe, leaving them lost for all eternity?

I can't imagine the disconnect that would happen falling asleep in one place and century and waking up in another. It would be "easier" for someone of modern times who is familiar with history of the time and society to understand the situation, but it would still be frightening and disconcerting. Knowledge would not always be comforting. You would know just how vulnerable you are.
Dragon Knight's Axe sounds like a good read.

I think time travel stories are fascinating because we all think about what it would really be like to go back in time. Of course the reality would be much harsher than our dreams. Coming forward but definitely be more frightening. This does sound like a great story !

So true, Lori! You're dealing with all your senses telling you this is real, but your mind is screaming, "It cannot be real!" As much as I would love to travel back to Medieval Scotland, the mere thought would be terrifying. Thanks for stopping by. :)

Exactly, Patricia. Fiona believes she's either having a horrific nightmare, injured her head, or has gone completely insane. Thanks so much for stopping by. :)

I enjoyed the continuing snippet. Especially the part when one of the men called Fiona "a little elf" and asked, "if he could be of service."
