From New York Times bestselling author Susanna Kearsley 1707 An
ill-fated expedition for the New World left Sophia Paterson an
orphan, cared for by her uncle. On his passing, a distant relative
offers what Sophia longs for most: a home. Slains Castle, on the
rugged Scottish coast, is much more comfortable than she is
accustomed to. But danger is right around the corner, as rebels
conspire to bring the exiled James Stewart to Scotland to reclaim
his crown. Present day Enchanted by the ruins of the castle, Carrie
McClelland hopes to turn this all-but-forgotten story into her next
novel. Settling in the nearby village, she creates a heroine named
after one of her ancestors and starts to write. Discovering her
novel contains more than she researched, Carrie wonders if this is
ancestral memory - making her the only living person to know what
truly happened all those years ago. With each new chapter she
uncovers the secrets of the past in a sweeping tale of love,
loyalty and ultimate betrayal. Praise for Susanna Kearsley
'Sometimes an author catches lightning in a bottle, and Susanna
Kearsley has done just that' New York Journal of Books 'A deeply
engaging romance and a compelling historical novel' Bernard
Cornwell, author of The Last Kingdom 'An epic romance for an epic
season, by one of Canada's best historical fiction writers' The
Globe and Mail 'Kearsley is nothing less than a magician weaving
together the past and the present in yet another marvellous,
genre-bending, romantic, mysterious and utterly unputdownable
novel' M J Rose, author of Seduction 'Fascinating, immersive and
twisty - twists not only of plot, but of character and time' Diana
Gabaldon, author of the Outlander series 'A terrific read,
evocative and romantic' Nicola Cornick, author of The Scandals of
an Innocent 'Will stay with you long after you put it down. Her
deft touch with historical intrigue is matched only by her delivery
of a contemporary heroine who is as unique as she is memorable'
Deanna Raybourn, author of The Dark Enquiry
