"Fascinating and immersive."--DIANA GABALDON, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Outlander

The bestselling, hauntingly beautiful tale of love across time, from New York Times bestselling author Susanna Kearsley

In spring 1708, a fleet of French and Scottish soldiers nearly succeeded in bringing exiled King James back to Scotland to reclaim his crown.

Carrie McClelland is fascinated by the intrigue and romance of this failed Jacobite rebellion, and wants to base her next bestselling book on it. She rents a cottage near the ruins of Slains Castle, where the rebellion was planned. Mixing her fictional characters with historical figures, Carrie suddenly realizes that people and events she thought she was inventing are turning out to be real. The dividing line between fact and fiction becomes eerily blurred as Carrie channels the spirit of a woman yearning to disclose a secret that's lain hidden for three hundred years...a secret that holds the key to Carrie's present-day happiness...
