Synopsis

“Action, drama, desire, revenge: Shadow Music includes all the necessary ingredients for romantics to plunge into the moors, mountains and magical myth of medieval Scotland.”—The Roanoke Times

Prized for her exquisite beauty, Princess Gabrielle of St. Biel, the daughter of one of England’s most influential barons, is a perfect bargaining chip for a king who needs peace in the Highlands: King John has arranged Gabrielle’s marriage to a good and gentle laird. But this marriage will never take place. 

Upon her arrival in Scotland, Gabrielle is immediately entangled in Highland intrigue, as a battle royal flares between enemies old and new. For two sadistic noblemen, underestimating Gabrielle’s bravery and prowess may prove fatal. Colm MacHugh, the most feared man in Scotland, makes no such mistakes about the captivating princess. Under his penetrating gaze, neither Gabrielle’s body nor her heart is safe.

“No one does historical romance better than Garwood. . . . Gabrielle is an enchanting heroine.”—The State (Columbia, S.C.)

“A compelling historical romance.”—Publishers Weekly

About Julie Garwood

I do not remember learning that an author had not learned how to read herself until the age of 11. But that was the case with author, Julie Garwood. She missed so much school with having a tonsillectomy at age six, the nobody realized that she did not complete her education in reading, and was not discovered until age 11. Amazing that the same child would grow up as Julie Garwood, a very successful American author. Her Irish heritage was an important force in her growing, as well as adult years. She also contributes her success to being the sixth of seven children. She says that relatively early she discovered that to be noticed in such a large family, her self-expression had to be "forceful, imaginative, and quick"!!!

Garwood's loyal readers seem to enjoy her poignant sense of humor, just as well as her ability to steer her readers toward crying and falling in love. Her mission with each book is to transport her readers to another world, after which they will feel like they have been in a great adventure.

Through local writer's conferences, Garwood met her future agent, even though she had never intended to become a professional writer. She lives in Leawood Kansas, and is currently writing tell notes for her next novel.

I was very unimpressed with this book. She usually is right on but this one was a loss.

Goodreads review by Jessica's on May 24, 2017

3.5 stars I liked this one okay but it was a little bit busy. Everyone and their cousin was in this book and it was trying to keep up with all the names. Other than the fact that it was a bit of a hot mess it was still an entertaining read.......more

Goodreads review by Jilly on March 16, 2017

It starts out with a story about a kingdom that gets a ton of gold and then it disappears. The question has always been whether or not the gold went to the Pope, or if only some was sent and the rest hidden. So, it's the mysterious treasure that people have been trying to find for ages. It'll take yo......more

This cover is horrible. ---------- My mission to read all Julie Garwood backlist continues! Another solid storytelling by the ever precious queen Garwood. It was a bit slower than I expected as the first 20% of the book was mainly staged as this exposition for the treasure of St. Biel. Usually, I might......more

Goodreads review by Debbie on May 12, 2020

Not as good as her others This was good but not great. It lacked something but I can't put my finger on it. Broderick was in it so that was a bonus for sure. The h is a Princess and is being sent to Scotland for an advantageous marriage. Everyone wants her and she supposedly knows the secret of where......more

Goodreads review by Gloria on October 27, 2024

The plot of this book is my favorite of the three books in the Highlands Lairds series, but it came up short in the romance department—mostly because the MMC was absent quite a bit and was practically nonverbal when he was present. Still a satisfying read.......more
