Merida had come of age. However, she still hadn't found a suitor. Her parents had agreed to let her pick the one that had won her heart. They had agreed to this after a very interesting incident involving turning her mother into a bear and also encounters with the demon bear Mordu and his ultimate defeat.

Things had gone well and, now that they were older, her triplet younger brothers were, at least somewhat, less of a pain in the tuckas. Her father Fergus was brave and loyal but didn't help with suitors with his odd personality.

Of course, they had all assumed that Merida would choose a suitor from one of the Clans. They never dreamed that she'd fall in love with someone from one of the Firebrand Clan near Loch Ness. But fate would decide otherwise and Merida would need to be braver than ever.
