The young Englishwoman Evelyn Godwin, who fled from the monastery, by the will of fate ended up in the harsh mountains of Scotland. She took refuge in an abandoned forest house, where the stern leader of the clan, Conall McCarrick, found her. Frightened, the girl lied to him that she was looking for her Scottish relatives, but the lie complicated the situation even more. Too late, Evelyn realized that she had driven herself into a trap. Now she has to become Mackeric's wife and give birth to an heir, because only in this way, according to legend, will she be able to overcome the curse hanging over the ancient Scottish clan.
