A love story and a road-trip novel, set against turbulent historical times. For fans of Diana Gabaldon and Philippa Gregory, courtly rivalry and intrigue. A story of treachery, betrayal and love...

‘Thoroughly researched and told with brilliantly compelling authenticity. I loved it’ BARBARA ERSKINE

He is tasked with the most dangerous of missions. She is only there from duty. But in the face of treachery and injustice, might they need each other more than they could know…?

1613: Scotland and England, unified under one crown, are reeling from the sudden death of King James’ popular eldest son, Henry, as rumours swirl that the prince was poisoned.

Andrew Logan, one of the King’s Messengers, is sent north with secret orders to find and arrest the man the king suspects.

Phoebe Westaway cannot abide Andrew Logan. But when her ageing father is tasked with helping Logan, Phoebe finds herself with no choice but to join them in their quest to capture Sir David Moray, once Prince Henry’s trusted courtier, and carry him to London to stand trial for the prince’s murder.

It’s a journey rife with complications. Sir David has no intention of allowing himself to be delivered to London, and as he draws them deeper into the dark web of court alliances and rivalries, Phoebe realises she might have more need of Logan than she believes.

I loved the Scottish accent of the speaker. I also liked the other speakers warm voice. The story is as brilliant as all the others of Ms Kearsley's. Yes, I am a big fan. There is always a twist which keeps the story interesting. The characters feel so alive and real and you learn about their lives during that time and also about some historical figures. Additionally that Andrew had some climpses of the future made it for me even more enjoyable because I believe that there is more than we can see with our eyes and touch with our hands.

Great Story
