Elizabeth MacKinley is immediately drawn into the ancient world of the handsome Jacob Macgregor when she reaches the Highlands in Scotland on a scientific grant. Jacob tells her of a 700 year old curse that has been put on the MacGregor lands. The curse was brought on by his ancestor, Alexander MacGregor, keeping the lands haunted and in ruins. Confused, lost and terrified, Elizabeth can’t believe it when she wakes up in the year 1295 on the bank of Loch Ness. She realizes she must locate Alexander to find her way home. Hunted by the English, swept up in the Wars of Independence, and fighting alongside William Wallace, Elizabeth will have to make a heart-wrenching decision that spans across seven centuries.

Anyone who loves a good romance. If you loved the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon or if you like Lynn Kurland's books you should really check this one out.

All the characters they really were well thought out and written and they just draw you in. I couldn't put the book down.

Just wish it was longer :)

I went through a lot of emotions while reading this book. I laughed, I cried, I got angry, it's a very emotional novel.

Is a new author that is one of our very own here at Writing.com Julie Palella she goes by juliepal on here. Check her out! She is just awesome.

I HIGHLY recommend this novel to anybody that loves historical romances or even time travel! It takes you back to the epic days of ancient Scotland. And let's face it can it get any better than bonnie Scotland? I know I will be looking for Mrs. Palella's next book :)
