About this listen

Some betrayals echo through the centuries.

Berwick-upon-Tweed, 1461. When Lady Catherine Dancy saves the life of a wounded knight, Guy de Rosel, her fate is sealed. Though they share a powerful connection, Guy’s manipulative brother Hugh discovers her identity and forces her into a loveless political marriage. Trapped in the crumbling de Rosel keep on the Scottish borders, Catherine faces an impossible choice between duty and desire. But Hugh’s cruel ambitions run deeper than she knows, and when betrayal strikes, will the chapel where she sought solace become her tomb?

Present day. Archaeologist Quinn Allenby’s psychic gift has often been a curse, but when she discovers a medieval skeleton and amber rosary beads beneath her husband’s family home, the visions that flood through her are darker than any she’s experienced before. As Quinn’s high-risk pregnancy pushes her to breaking point, she becomes obsessed with uncovering the truth about Catherine’s fate. But solving this ancient mystery may cost her everything, including the man she loves…

A devastating story of deadly betrayal, forbidden love and the dangerous power of the past to reshape the present. A binge-worthy listen for fans of Diana Gabaldon, Susanna Kearsley, and Barbara Erskine.

Oh what a powerful story. I love the way the modern adventures are dove tailed in with segments from the past. It’s cleverly done and works well overall. So much happens in this portion of the series and I am glad that I have had the opportunity to listen to it even though there’s much sadness and cruelty at times. Of course that’s due to the nature of occurrences in the past.

I feel as if I have been punched in the chest!

The only disappointing thing was a total lack of manners by the little girl Emma. It really grated by the end of the story. Not once did that awful character say please or thanks. I guess its the way of the world. I couldn’t stand the brat by the end of the book.

This again was a good story, I love the back and forth in time.

if you liked the previous you will like this one...I won't tell you, but Quinns life is going to get another twist. 🤯
as for the 15th century saga.. Joan (aka nurse) is a vile creature what a horrid woman. I cannot believe Irina concocted her.
and if you read my other reviews you know my view on Wendy Wolfsons struggles to create other female voices. 😳 my opinion hasn't changed.

this one has a twist
