De: Elena Collins

'Although I believe I will die here in this castle, my spirit will never be silent’

Ravenscraig Castle, Scotland. 1307

When the castle she works in is sacked by the army of Prince Edward of England, kitchen maid Agnes Fitzgerald manages to escape north of Inverness to throw herself at the mercy of the Lord and Lady at Ravenscraig Castle. Although safe for now, the people of Scotland are fighting hard for their independence, and the threat of the English hangs heavy over the land. But when Agnes spies Cam Buchanan swimming in the loch, her mind turns away from war and towards love. Agnes even dares to dream of a happy future, until she learns that Cam must go and fight alongside Robert de Brus.

Present day

Twins Leah and Zoe need a change, so caretaking at Ravenscraig Castle is the perfect opportunity to get away from it all. Surrounded by rugged Highland countryside, and bordered by a loch, the picturesque setting is everything they dreamed of. But the locals are reluctant to visit Ravenscraig, and there are whispers of ghosts and lost souls. The sisters quickly dismiss such superstition, but soon the overwhelming sadness they feel coming from the tower grows too hard to ignore.

Can the sisters finally right the wrongs of seven hundred years of heartbreak, seven hundred years of betrayal…

USA Today bestselling author Judy Leigh writing as Elena Collins, brings you this heart-breaking and unforgettable timeslip novel, perfect for fans of Barbara Erskine, Diana Gabaldon and Louise Douglas

awesome

very good story. loved every second. The castle was my favorite part, with the ghost

Excellent narration and fun story

Scotland Castles, check. Ghosts, check. Then and now stories with likable (except that daft Effie) characters, check. Wars? Check. Olden Times and Modern Times? check. Deception and treachery? check. I did end up listening all night instead of sleeping because I go so into the story.

Romance? yes it's there. The love story for the 1300 century was important and key to the story, but the modern ones were not necessary except to add tension. If you want your main characters to find love and have the author expand on their newfound feelings being awakened, you'll enjoy this. If you love Scottish and British accents and ken how wonderful turns of phrase back then really sets the scene, aye, you'll enjoy this narration.

Historical Fiction with Love Story

It kept my attention all the way through…excellent storytelling! I loved learning about Scottish history and the love stories mixed into the story.
