History has all but forgotten…
In the spring of 1708, an invading Jacobite fleet of French and Scottish soldiers nearly succeeded in landing the exiled James Stewart in Scotland to reclaim his crown.
Now, Carrie McClelland hopes to turn that story into her next bestselling novel. Settling herself in the shadow of Slains Castle, she creates a heroine named for one of her own ancestors and starts to write.
But when she discovers her novel is more fact than fiction, Carrie wonders if she might be dealing with ancestral memory, making her the only living person who knows the truth—the ultimate betrayal—that happened all those years ago, and that knowledge comes very close to destroying her…

This was a wonderful story that I did not want to end.
I love this author and this book. It’s so haunting and bittersweet. Such a wonderful mysterious historical. I’m not even going to tell you what it’s about. I would be doing readers a disservice. It’s a book you must experience first hand.
Susanna Kearsley is an incredible story tell. She blends historical fiction with fantasy/science fiction and subtlely brings in characters from other books. It’s delightful to realize a main character was a child in a previous book. I highly recommend her books.
Love love love! If you are a history buff and a fan of romance who can handle some paranormal elements you will love this!
All this author’s books are awesome.
This is one of my favorite books of all time. You just get lost in the characters, the story, everything. Every book I’ve read from this author is wonderful. The type of story you will read more than once and never get tired of it. I simply loved this book.
My favorite author. Love the way she weaves a story. Romantic, gothic, mysterious, wonderful!
This is one of the two best historical romance books. Period. Outlander being the other. (Both are also superb in their Audible forms.)
Susanna Kearsley deftly intertwines the story of a modern fiction writer who researches an older story built around real and imagined characters who lived through the failed 1708 Scottish uprising against British …
The best book about what being a writer is like!
I love ALL of Susanna Kearsley’s books, she is a fantastic wordsmith
A favorite book I have read several times.
I didn’t want the story to end. Though the book has been out for a number of years, I didn’t come across it until last winter and put it on my Christmas list. And then it still took me months to run out of kindle books to read and pick up a real printed book. I was attracted to the story because of the time period, the Scottish setting, and what …
This was a great book. We’ll written and entertaining. Very much recommended!
Loved it!
Exquisitely written! Original story combining mystery, romance, and history. The richness of the story lingers after reading.
This is a spellbinding book that I have read more than once. Just outstanding!
This was the first book I read by Susanna Kearsley. I liked it so much I bought every other book she wrote, even hunting down a couple older harder to find books. Great historical fiction, and reoccurring characters in time! Love them all!.
Historical romance
Kearsley is a wonderful author, love her stories.
Very unique book. Basically, a book within a book. Well done!
