Eager to escape a disastrous relationship, archaeologist, Ellie Harper, jumps at the chance to travel to the remote Scottish Highlands, and excavate the ruins of Castle MacKinnon. However, no matter where she goes, the shadow of her ex follows her, promising she will never be free of her painful past. But, when a mysterious stranger turns up half-dead on her doorstep in the middle of a violent storm, Ellie is thrust into the realm of ancient secrets and impossible magic that challenges everything she holds dear. Faced with a heartbreaking decision, Ellie must put her emotions and logic aside to help Laird Ewan MacKinnon find a way home to the thirteenth century—if one exists. What she doesn’t expect is to journey to a past more astounding than history, find a love more precious than ancient treasure, and survive the deadly wrath of an evil man’s revenge.

Rescued from the back alleys of modern day Glasgow, Callum Jamieson is thrust back in time to the 13th century and to a life beyond his imagination. His mission? He must save the woman he loves from being murdered—a woman he’s never met. Desperate to escape the future she was born to, Katie Mackinnon longs for the chance to venture beyond the castle and keep of her Highland home, and discover if the world is really like the secret visions that have plagued since childhood—visions many would believe to be heresy. Instead, she must choose marriage and commitment by her next birthday—or the choice will be made for her. But when a mysterious stranger turns up unconscious after a lightning storm, Katie is forced to face her fears, her awakening intuition and her growing desire for the unusual man who has intrigued her like no other.
