"Amazing!Perfect mix of fantasy/historical fic/romance+a small bit of mystery/suspense. While this one was more time slip less fantasy, all the author’s books tie together. Can be standalone but you get the full experience & fantasy elements by reading The Shadowy Horses, this one, then The Firebird. Susanna Kearsley is my fav author. Her books create a whole world that gets better with each book. I actually think these might be better than my beloved Outlander series! 1000% recommend!!"

"A decent historical fiction read. I honestly much preferred the historical story to the boring modern characters. There was no reason to write the modern part and make the story completely unrealistic. I had not read a lot about this part of history (Jacobite), so I did enjoy it."

"It was absolutely heart wrenching, I cried multiple times. Having read The Firebird first, I knew the outcome but I still ugly cried. "
