Some betrayals echo through the centuries. Berwick-upon-Tweed, 1461. When Lady Catherine Dancy saves the life of a wounded knight, Guy de Rosel, her fate is sealed. Though they share a powerful connection, Guy's manipulative brother Hugh discovers her identity and forces her into a loveless political marriage. Trapped in the crumbling de Rosel keep on the Scottish borders, Catherine faces an impossible choice between duty and desire. But Hugh's cruel ambitions run deeper than she knows, and when betrayal strikes, will the chapel where she sought solace become her tomb? Present day. Archaeologist Quinn Allenby's psychic gift has often been a curse, but when she discovers a medieval skeleton and amber rosary beads beneath her husband's family home, the visions that flood through her are darker than any she's experienced before. As Quinn's high-risk pregnancy pushes her to breaking point, she becomes obsessed with uncovering the truth about Catherine's fate. But solving this ancient mystery may cost her everything, including the man she loves... A devastating story of deadly betrayal, forbidden love and the dangerous power of the past to reshape the present. An unputdownable read for fans of Diana Gabaldon, Susanna Kearsley, and Barbara Erskine.
Autorenporträt
Although initially known for her time-travel series, Irina was always intrigued by the foggy, gaslit streets, shadowy hansom cabs, and brutal underworld synonymous with Victorian England. These images are the backdrop to her series of gripping mysteries that feature Lord Jason Redmond and Inspector Daniel Haze, a crime-solving duo as complex as the cases they investigate. Through their eyes, readers experience both the opulence of upper-crust society and the gritty reality of those less fortunate, as Redmond and Haze solve mysteries that delve deep into the historical context of the time. Irina is currently working on a new historical mystery series, the Tate and Bell Mysteries, which will introduce Scotland Yard Inspector Sebastian Bell and nurse Gemma Tate, whose personal histories and unique talents make them the perfect, if at times reluctant, partners as they investigate grisly murders in Victorian London.
