A magical journey across English history…  

The author has out done herself this time, whereas her previous books have transported you to another single time period in history, this story covers Roman Britain to the seventies, and all kings and queens in between.

Not only do we have the excellent detailed research making the reader feel they are living the characters life, be it a washer woman or lord, but we have a magical thread linking all the events to keep the story moving.

Our three characters not only change with the times but grow and develop as they face their task.

Well written, impressive historical knowledge, combined with a fast-paced intriguing story.

Recommended equally for romance and history lovers alike, or people who simply enjoy a good read. Morton R. Leader, author of History is a Lie.

  1. Highly recommended!
    I enjoyed reading this book. Because of a curse, the 2 women keep reincarnating and the man has eternal life, every time a time frame is described. Just when you think, now it's the same again, the element of love is added and the story gets interesting again.
