Publisher's summary

Paula Brackston, New York Times best-selling 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 17th 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.

What a great Story

The pace of the story is well written, and the suspense and direction of it was never certain. All in all, a great story. Absolutely loved it from beginning to end. Finished it it two sessions. Great Book

Enjoyable escape

I enjoyed nearly every aspect. Well written with the effect of creating a 'little movie' in my head as I listened. The narrator's accents for each character created added to the vividness without being forced or over the top. I saw each character as I listened. The story is somewhat reminiscent of Outlander, but held it's own in the way of originality. Would definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys a good story full of history and time travel!

Oh my!!!

This book was fantastic. To be honest, I wasn’t sure I was gonna like it at first. But, I would say that if this was the book I’d be rolling through the pages faster than you can believe! I really love the narrator, the book, and the characters. I need more!

Great ghost story

Loved this book. This one definitely a keeper. The story surrounds a young woman, Cassandra, who, with her mother, opens up an antique shop. Cassandra has special talents - being able to feel certain objects and then tell stories about them. Hence, the entrance of the ghost.
