Rowan, the third and magical child born to the Murray Clan, embraces her duties as a Druid and the protector of all living things. Bound to the Highlands forever, she discovers she is drawn to, and instantly captivated by a man who stirs an unknown passion within her when her eyes fall upon him swimming in the turquoise pool beneath the dragon's cave, unaware that this man is destined to fulfill the prophecy that was written in the ancient tomes of old. Will he awaken what lies beneath her innocence and lay claim to her heart with his undeniable charm, or will the prophecy forever remain unfulfilled? Nial Drummond, a young wizard, raised in the enchanted mountains and the Castle Chegnuat, is drawn to the Murray lands and the legendary wizard Alzar by a desire to complete his calling and perfect his skills. Enchanted by tales of a warrior woman living in the majestic mountains and valleys of the Highlands, he embarks on a journey to not just fulfill his destiny as a wizard, but to find the woman of whom he has heard tales and envisioned in his dreams for so many years, a woman with violet eyes. With the aid of Alzar's magic, and strength of will to bring about his own heir, the two will meet, and become caught in a maelstrom of events that will either bond them together forever, or create an irrefutable obstacle that tears them apart.

Readers who believe as Herman Melville's Ishmael, that "meditation and water are wedded for ever," will be entranced by Rex Johnson, Jr.'s, account of his travels to the upper Bavispe River in Mexico's northern Sierra Madre. Combining travel observations, natural history, ethnography, ecology, and ichthyology, Johnson's narrative plunges the reader into a world that is so far from the twenty-first-century United States that it is difficult to believe how physically close the two countries actually are. Johnson goes in search of an ancient species of trout, the Bavispe, at least 3 million years old. It has been easier for the Bavispe to remain unchanged for millennia than for the human inhabitants of the Sierra Madre to endure for mere centuries. Johnson notes the area's Indian descendants are in the process of becoming modern, and the needs of the ancient trout, dependent on pure, unpolluted water, collide at times with the choices of people scratching out an existence in a challenging environment. The parallel stories from natural and human history are a central theme in Johnson's account of environmental change and its consequences, layered with the personal, contemplative meaning he finds in the quest for the seldom-seen fish.
