Across the Pressing Dark
(2025)(The first book in the Pressing Dark Duology series)
A novel by Veronica Wolff
Lost in time, bound by love, hunted by magic.
At nineteen, Rose thought tracking down her unpredictable mother in Scotland would be her biggest challenge. Instead, she's ripped from her time and hurled into the unforgiving Highlands of the seventeenth century, where she becomes entangled in deadly clan rivalries, ancient magic, and a history she was never meant to uncover.
Irresistibly drawn to Callum, a young Scotsman trapped by fate and servitude, Rose finds a connection unlike any she has ever known. But their growing love puts them both in mortal peril. Dark forces gather, wielding powerful sorcery to keep them apart, and Rose must decide: return to her own time, or risk everything to forge a future with Callum?
A sweeping tale of love, sacrifice, and magic, Across the Pressing Dark is the first book in a romantic young adult time-travel duology—where love defies time, and the past is never truly buried.
