A novel by

 
 
Enchanting time travel romance from the author of the #1 international bestseller The Prophecy.

She’s an agent running from her past. He’s the warrior who will become her future.

In her desperation to undo the tragedy that stole everything from her, Maggie Sinclair becomes entangled in an enchantment and thrust into 15th-century Scotland. Torn from everything she knows, her mission becomes survival.

Losing his wife and unborn child all but crushed the spirit of the once-proud Highland warrior, Callum O’Roarke. But when the sisters of Brackish Abbey press Callum to take in their new charge—a woman whose emotional scars are as deep as his own—he reluctantly agrees, offering Maggie sanctuary.

Thrown together after devastating circumstances, the pair find common ground in their shared pain, and begin to forge a friendship. Thinking he has nothing left to give, Callum learns to love again. After being trapped in the past, Maggie discovers she’s in exactly the right place.

Dear Readers,

I hope you enjoy Maggie and Callum’s time travel love story in THE PRICE as much as you did Gwen and Greylen’s in THE PROPHECY; I am absolutely loving writing the Lairds of the Crest series!

And, if you read one of the first editions of THE PROHECY before reading THE PRICE, you might be a little confused that the Lairds of the Crest series overall has jumped back in time by 100 additional years between the two books. Allow me to explain.
I’ve since shifted the time setting of the Lairds of the Crest series from the 16th century to the 15th century, and all current editions of THE PROPHECY also reflect this time change.

It’s all a matter of me ignoring my instincts and then finally listening to myself—and my readers! When I first started writing THE PROPHECY, I originally set in the early 1400s. Then in subsequent edits, I moved it ahead 100 years, mistakenly thinking life in that later time period wouldn’t seem so stark. But the history wasn’t working quite right. Scotland in the early 1500s would have been involved with much political and religious intrigue leading to the Protestant Reformation, not to mention key activities happening in England—namely Henry VIII’s selection of Anne Boleyn as his second wife and his efforts to annul his first marriage to Catherine of Aragon.

So now Gwen and Greylen’s love story is back in the 1400s, where it was always meant to be—and where we also find Maggie and Callum.

There are more Lairds of the Crest novels coming soon, and I am so glad you are with me on this journey!

With love,
Kim
