    About this audiobook

    "Fans of Diana Gabaldon's Outlander collection will delight in Brackston's new series and eagerly await its second installment. A bewitching tale of love across centuries." — Kirkus Reviews

    Paula Brackston, New York Times     bestselling author of The Witch's Daughter, returns with her trademark blend of magic and romance guaranteed to enchant in the first audiobook in a new series.

    An antique shop haunted by a ghost.
    A silver treasure with an injustice in its story.
    An adventure to the past she’ll never forget.

    Xanthe and her mother Flora leave London behind for a fresh start, taking over an antique shop in the historic town of Marlborough. Xanthe has always had an affinity with some of the antiques she finds. When she touches them, she can sense something of the past they come from and the stories they hold. When she has an intense connection to a beautiful silver chatelaine she has to know more.

    It is while she’s examining the chatelaine that she’s transported back to the seventeenth century where it has its origins. She discovers there is an injustice in its history. The spirit that inhabits her new home confronts her and charges her with saving her daughter’s life, threatening to take Flora’s if she fails.

    While Xanthe fights to save the girl amid the turbulent days of 1605, she meets architect Samuel Appleby. He may be the person who can help her succeed. He may also be the reason she can’t bring herself to leave.

      Splendid and delicious. She writes such rich characters and relationships! I’m smitten.
    • 4/5
      I really enjoyed this. However, I feel there was a ton of build up with a complicated plot & the wrap up of the story was so quick and left a lot of loose ends. I was expecting more from the ending & wish there had been more to finish the story. Even if there is going to be a sequel, there was too much left open.
