Scimitar — Ashley McConnell

THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE...
He is immortal. A Scottish warrior born four hundred years ago. He is not alone. For centuries he has fought others like himself. He can die only if a foe takes his head, capturing his life-force in an event known as the Quickening. But his battles are eternal...for in the end, there can be only one. He is Duncan MacLeod. The Highlander.

BLOOD OF KINGS
For centuries the legendary sword has brought death and the Quickening. A blade forged to steal the blood of princes and Immortals, the scimitar has haunted Duncan MacLeod as it has haunted history, from the slave markets of the Barbary pirates to Lawrence of Arabia's war against the Turks...

Now the sword has mysteriously been delivered into Joe Dawson's hands. With it come instructions that tell Dawson--a member of the Watchers, the secret society of mortals who have observed Immortals through history--to give the scimitar to Duncan MacLeod. Is the scimitar meant as a challenge, a warning, or a salute across the centuries from one Immortal to another?
