For fans of Diana Gabaldon and Philippa Gregory, courtly rivalry
and intrigue…  1613:  King James – sixth of
Scotland, first of England, son of Mary, Queen of Scots - has
unified both countries under one crown. But the death of his eldest
son, Henry, has plunged the nation into mourning, as the rumours
rise the prince was poisoned.  Andrew Logan’s heard the
rumours, but he’s paid them little heed. As one of the King’s
Messengers he has enough secrets to guard, including his own. In
these perilous times, when the merest suggestion of witchcraft can
see someone tortured and hanged, men like Andrew must hide well the
fact they were born with the Sight.  He’ll need all his
gifts, though, when the king sends Andrew north to find and arrest
Sir David Murray, once Prince Henry’s trusted courtier, and bring
him a prisoner to London to stand trial before the dreaded Star
Chamber.  A story of treachery, betrayal and love… Â
Praise for The Vanished Days: ‘Fascinating and immersive… I
love a novel that deals with the many ways in which people keep
their secrets’ DIANA GABALDON ‘A hugely engrossing book
and a complete world created’ IAN RANKIN ‘The Vanished
Days is an absolute tour de force of historical storytelling,
tender and dramatic, gripping and authentic. Kearsley manages
effortlessly to balance the epic sweep of the drama with telling
moments of gentle characterization, all delivered in pitch-perfect
style. I thoroughly enjoyed it: a perfect escape in these dark
days’ JANE JOHNSON, author of The Salt Road and The Tenth
Gift  ‘An engrossing and deeply romantic novel of
Scotland’s Jacobite rebellion’ RACHEL HORE ‘This novel
tells of a tender love story set amid the Jacobite rebellion. For
readers unfamiliar with the twists and turns of this period of
Scottish history, author Kearsley provides a helpful map, along
with rich details of the protagonists. Courage in this era lies not
in acts of heroic daring, but in steadfast pursuit of truth and
justice. Perfect for fans of Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander’ WOMAN
