Like the Break of Dawn
She grew up hearing the legend. She never expected to live it. Yvaine MacKinnear was adopted into the warmth of clan MacKinnear as a child—brave, curious, and always a little wild. She grew up hearing stories of a fierce woman named Yvaine and her bold warrior Caelen, whose love shaped the Highland clan’s beginning over 400 years ago. She always thought she was named for a legend. Until she falls through time… and finds herself staring into the eyes of the very man she’s read about her whole life.
She’s not a myth. She’s real. And now, so is he. Medieval Scotland is nothing like the home she knew. Declared the long-lost daughter of a powerful chieftain, Yvaine is treated not as a person but a symbol—useful, malleable, and promised to a man she did not choose. She remembers herself. She remembers freedom. And she refuses to be used as anyone’s pawn.
The stories say he’s hers. But Yvaine refuses to let fate decide. Meeting Caelen—the man whose fierce devotion lit every tale she heard as a child—feels like stepping into someone else’s life. Her future seems written, her heart already claimed by legend. But Yvaine was raised to question, to choose, to fight for freedom. And if she’s to love anyone, it will be because she chose him herself. Still, when Caelen looks at her, something in her quiets. Something listens.
She might be a woman of legend. But she’s also a woman of her own making. And no tale—ancient or new—will shape her without permission.
If you’ve ever questioned who you are or where you truly belong… this story was written with you in mind.
Some stories can be told in one book. Others cannot. This is one of those stories.
