Legend of the Hand
(2026)(The third book in the Hand of Maud Clean Time Travel Romance series)
A novel by Patti A Pierucci
BOOK 3 OF THE HAND OF MAUD SERIES IS HERE!
Two books ago, Eleanor found the Hand. Now her granddaughter has to take it back.
1496. The Tudors have taken the English crown.
Across the English Channel, Donna and George are deep inside the court of Margaret of Burgundy—spies in a nest of spies, time travelers in a world that will hang them if anyone learns their secrets.
Their cover: exiled Yorkist loyalists. Their mission: recover the Hand of Maud, the legendary relic said to prove the rightful king of England. Their target: Perkin Warbeck, the man who claims to be the lost prince of the Tower of London and the true ruler of England.
Lady Margaret is becoming suspicious of Donna and George. Tudor spies are closer than they know. And the question everyone is asking is splitting them apart: is the young man at the center of it all really the lost prince in the Tower, or the most convincing liar in Europe?
Five centuries away, Eleanor, Donna’s aging grandmother, is alone and losing ground. She has been feeding information to Donna through notes tucked inside a medieval church, tracking the Hand through the archives one crumbling document at a time. But a detective from England is pulling on threads from her past. Her aide may be a spy planted in her home. And an American scholar has just walked into her life at exactly the wrong moment—or possibly the right one.
Both timelines are accelerating toward endings that cannot be stopped. History has already recorded what happens to Warbeck. It has not recorded what it costs the people who loved him, warned him, or died in the margins of his story.
Legend of the Hand is a time-travel historical romance about love, romance, betrayal, and the devastating weight of knowing the future.
FOR READERS WHO LOVE CLEAN ROMANCE, HISTORICAL FICTION, AND TIME-TRAVEL MYSTERY AND ADVENTURE.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
