Book Review - Magnar

Magnar 
Mary Morgan
August 2020 

Known as the Barbarian, Magnar MacAlpin is a fierce ruler for those under his command. As leader of the Wolves of Clan Sutherland, his loyalty and obedience lies with Scotland. However, the king's last demand is not something Magnar will tolerate. 

After Elspeth Gunn's brother the Chieftain of Castle Steinn is murdered, she flees with her nephew, and finds safety amongst a band of men who are rumored to be part wolf. When the king forces her to wed a heathen Northman, she fears losing her heart and soul not only to the man, but the beast as well. 

In order to restore peace to a shattered clan, Magnar and Elspeth travel a treacherous path that challenges their beliefs. When evil seeks to destroy ancient traditions, will Magnar be compelled to restrain his wolf or allow him free to protect those he loves?

Between The Pages 
Magnar, The Wolves of Clan Sutherland book 1, pulls you in and holds your attention. The historical setting and plot are well-developed and places you within the pages. Magnar is a strong leading man. He is perfectly matched with Elspeth, who empowers her own character strength to accept and love a man/wolf shifter. Their scenes are fun, emotional, steamy, and action filled. The secondary cast of characters are equally enjoyable. The interesting storyline sometimes moves a bit fast to wrap-up a few scenes, but the overall story is entertaining and ends on a teaser with a new problematic relationship involving one of Magnar’s men, Rorik.
