Once upon a time, Ashley Worrell wrote HR paperwork. In 2022, after becoming a Christian and praying for God to show her that her life still had purpose, she wrote her first novel—The Radiance of the Moon—and hasn’t stopped. A full-time author since 2022 and a 2023 ACFW Genesis semi-finalist, she now writes medieval adventures set in the Scottish isles in her Hebridean Shield series. She lives in upstate South Carolina, where the Blue Ridge Mountains, her family, and her dog/“agent” Sallie Ann keep her rooted.

THE FATE OF THE KINGDOM OF THE ISLES RESTS IN THEIR HANDS…
The year is 1383, and the Wolf of Badenoch has conducted a terroristic campaign across the Highlands to increase his wealth and land holdings. Now he's turned his sights from Scotland to the Kingdom of the Isles. Seeking to keep the Wolf’s superior fighting forces out of his island nation, the King of the Isles turns to Chieftain Hector MacLean for help.
A survivor of the Hundred Years’ War, Hector’s reputation proceeds him. Brutal, clever, he is perhaps the greatest warrior Scotland or the Isles has ever produced—as if the man has a gift for killing. But after changing his life, Hector has no interest in returning to his old ways.
When his hand is forced, Hector discovers that the deadly combatant he used to be isn’t gone, but lurking just beneath the surface. With a new mission and purpose, Hector forms an elite team of warriors to protect the Isles, their clans, and their way of life—and send the Wolf back to the abyss.
Join Hector for this exciting nine book series!
