About this listen

Marked by an ancient prophecy wielded by the gods.

Shackled to a dark, enigmatic stranger.

And prey to a powerful adversary seeking vengeance.

Her life will never be the same again . . .

Intrigue and danger enter Brydie MacKay's life when Gage walks into her carefully controlled world. He brings news that her grandmother has died, and as her last living relative, Brydie has inherited her estate and must travel to Scotland to accept her legacy and all it entails. Brydie doesn't want the inheritance, not after the way she was treated, and when a series of actions unfold that illustrate her "legacy" is not just a physical entity but a turbulent birthright proclaiming she is the descendant of the Celtic winter goddess, Cailleach Bheur, she tries to run.

But Gage won't take no for an answer. He has his own role to fulfill and will do whatever it takes to ensure Brydie returns to Scotland with him—even if that means taking her against her will.

Contains mature themes.

Daughter of Winter has a great premise, and there were definitely moments where the story really shone. Some chapters pulled me in with their atmosphere, magic, and use of Celtic mythology. Unfortunately, there were also parts that just didn't land for me, and I can't quite pinpoint why. It's not a bad book by any means—it just didn't fully hit the spot.

The writing style is smooth and engaging, but the characters left me feeling a bit uninspired. Brydie's reactions and choices didn't help me connect with her, and while Gage had more intrigue, I didn't feel much chemistry between them overall. It may simply be a case of 'it's not you, it's me,' because I can see why other readers enjoy this story, even if I didn't quite click with it.

The pacing was another stumbling block for me—especially how long it seemed to take to actually get to Scotland. It made the middle of the book drag more than I expected. In the end, Daughter of Winter had the potential to be so much more, but it fell a little short for my tastes. Still, fans of dark fantasy romance and Celtic folklore may find plenty to love here.

Steeped with celtic folklaw
