Donal MacLeod and his brother Evan seek to shake off their reputations as the clan ne'er-do-wells by seeking out witch and herbalist Maeve to help cure a mysterious plague that has struck their home town of Durness. Both end up smitten with the beautiful witch--but where Donal would offer her his heart and his life, Evan seeks only to take.
Orphaned brothers Donal and Evan MacLeod have never enjoyed a good reputation among their Clan. Now in their twenties, both have fought in defense of their Clan against the English, and now seek brides in the peaceful town where they grew up. But three months after their return to Durness, a nasty epidemic rages through town, endangering everyone. Seeking an attempt to redeem himself and his brother in the town's eyes, Donal drags his brother along as he volunteers to search for the herb-witch Maeve, who lives along the cliffs to the north on Cape Wrath. They find the witch, who handily identifies the sickness and gives them bales of herbs to treat it. But the meeting leaves them with another problem: Maeve, the Cape Wrath Witch, is as beautiful and kind as summer, and both brothers become smitten.
