THE LESSON
"I first met Pieter Gatlan in 1868.
It was a beautiful, warm sunny afternoon when he first tried to kill me.”
Of all the sword fights Duncan MacLeod has fought over the centuries, the toughest have been against an Immortal named Pieter Gatlan. Every ten years, Gatlan searches Duncan out – and every ten years, Duncan is defeated… but not beheaded. What is Gatlan’s grand plan? And this time, will the Highlander triumph?

THE SECRET OF THE SWORD
“This sword is at least four hundred years old.”
Duncan MacLeod knows a lot about swords. Everyone knows that. So, when he’s called in to help Seacouver police value an antique blade found hidden away in a museum basement, he thinks nothing of it. But then, when he sees the sword – as amazing, beautiful and ancient as it is – Duncan realises there might be more to his involvement than he originally thought…

LOVE and HATE
“Immortals didn’t die. Not like this. You cut an Immortal, they got up.
You shot them, they got up. You burnt them, they got up. They always got up.”
A roof-top duel between sword-wielding combatants becomes the talk of Seacouver – but Duncan is perplexed when both bodies are found with their heads intact. No Quickening has taken place, and instead, the pair seemed to have burned to death. And who is Maria Rostov, the beautiful young Russian claiming that her life is in danger?

KURGAN RISING
“Everyone has a bogeyman… A name whispered with fear and dread…”
With an increasing number of Immortals disappearing, Duncan and Watcher Joe Dawson decide to investigate.
The trail leads to an imposing Parisian office building owned by business magnate Augustus Mason, but nothing can prepare the Highlander for what he will find within. An old friend, a new foe – and an ancient terror reborn!
