Scotland's Knight Series: The Hand of Fate

BOOK #3: AWARD-WINNING NOVELLA, HISTORICAL ROMANCE FICTION

Sir Lennox Brodie has willingly relegated his life as a powerful knight to the darkest recesses of his past. In turn, he has wholeheartedly embraced the comfortable, peaceful rhythm of life’s seasons at Brodie Manor with his wife Maggie, son Kendric, and the wee bairn they thought would never be.


When a messenger from Castle Wrought unexpectedly arrives, their tranquil life is thrown into chaos. War has erupted in Ireland, the king has responded to the call for aid, and he orders Lennox back into service. As old feelings resurface, Lennox wrestles with the life he left behind and the one he has come to love. 


Then fate, a silent and unwelcome visitor, steps in.

Sir Lennox Brodie is a battle-hardened knight whose strength is matched by a deeply rooted sense of honor and loyalty to the crown. Though shaped by war and carrying the weight of past injuries, he reveals a softer, unwavering devotion in his love for Maggie, whom he protects fiercely and cherishes without condition. He steps fully into the role of husband and father, claiming Maggie’s son as his own and leading both his household and his men with quiet resolve and pride.


Ultimately, Lennox’s courage and selflessness define him, culminating in the ultimate sacrifice made in service to his king, securing his legacy as both a noble warrior and a man of profound heart.

Maggie Brodie stands as the steadfast heart of Brodie Manor, a devoted mother and capable lady of the household, overseeing its people and daily life with quiet strength and care. In this chapter of her life, she faces both hope and sorrow, carrying Lennox’s child while preparing for his absence as he rides to war, their parting marked by deep love and unspoken fear.


As time passes, she endures the weight of uncertainty and responsibility alone, clinging to faith and routine while longing for his return. Ultimately, Maggie is forced to confront devastating loss, yet continues forward with resilience, holding fast to her children and the life she and Lennox built together.

Kendric is the eight-year-old son of Maggie and Lennox, growing up between riverbanks, stables, and long days spent at his father’s side, learning the rhythms of estate life with quiet pride. He is brave and resilient beyond his years, whether standing firm in fear, helping his mother without hesitation, or wrestling with difficult truths about his family. 


Though he enjoys simple outdoor pursuits like fishing, exploring, and caring for animals, Kendric dislikes deception and uncertainty, showing a deeply rooted need for truth and trust in the world around him.
