Book Description

June 2004
15th century Scotland... from danger in a Highland castle to intrigue at the court of King James... from peasants and spies to courtiers and villains...

EARTHCHILD is a battle-of-wills romance brimming with adventure, secrets, passions, and a love to conquer all.

Born of royal blood, but on the wrong side of the blanket, Richard Llewellyn walks a blurred path between the stigma of his bastardy and the nobility of his lineage. For now, he is a spy, investigating rumors of rebellion in Lord Gordon's estate in the Highlands. Travel worn, Llewellyn encounters a Highland beauty, Branwyn, bathing in the linn. Immediately attracted to her ethereal charms, he swears to possess her at all costs--never dreaming that the cost may be higher than he thinks.

Branwyn has the sight, and reads runes, talents that ran in her mother's family. She believes herself to be a peasant, alone in the world except for one good friend, Brian, who has disappeared. When she is forced to marry the mysterious Llewellyn, she is angered and frightened by turns. But is it the man, himself, who causes her distress... or the desire he ignites within her?

By day Llewellyn scouts; by night he seduces Branwyn, determined to win first her body, and then her heart. Branwyn feels the pull of his power, but still she resists--for she has glimpsed the future and the dangers it holds for both of them...

About the Author

Allie Bates lives in the sweltering summers and temperate winters of Tennessee, about as far as you can get from Scotland, in a zoo full of offspring, dogs, cats, computers and unfinished books clamoring to be completed. When she is not reading or writing, she’s teaching English, Drama or Creative Writing in an inner city high school, writing book reviews or screenplay critiques, grading writing (a thing which can not possibly be done), editing both the school’s annual literary magazine and the neighborhood’s newsletter, and driving homeless Basenjis to new homes via the Basenji Underground Railroad. She is a former member of "Tripod," a splinter support group of the Memphis RWA chapter whose eyes and pens ruthlessly critiqued Earthchild; but now she writes in the virtual isolation of her den, with only the feedback of her middle child Ben, a brilliant plotter well on his way to being a Fantasy writer himself.

4.0 out of 5 stars A REALLY GOOD BOOK, June 2, 2005
By 
Shani Brown (Cross Plains, TN) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Earthchild (Paperback)
I REALLY ENJOYED THIS BOOK. I HAPPENED TO READ THE SHORT STORY OF HOW BRANWYN WAS BORN AND WAS REALLY INTRIGUED WITH THE STORY. AT TIMES, THE STORY WAS A LITTLE CONFUSING (THAT'S JUST ME, NOT THE STORY) BUT IN THE END, IT WAS WONDERFUL. IF YOU ARE A FAN OF MEDIEVAL SCOTTISH ROMANCE, THIS IS A GREAT ONE TO PICK UP.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Classic Romance, August 26, 2004
By 
Image Upload (CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Earthchild (Paperback)
This is an amazing book, a classic historical romance. Alpha-male hero, heroine with the sight. Great secondary characters. If you enjoy medieval romances with characters that live in the "real world" you'll love this book. Seriously great . . .
