Summary

Running away from her catastrophic life, historical journalist Eva MacKay joins an archaeological dig at the battleground of Loudoun Hill. Unearthing the seal of William Wallace, Eva gains notoriety. But her dreams of Bowie knives, the weapon that murdered her husband, morph into great swords and dirks. Drawn to a ruined monastery, Eva drifts into the worst nightmare of all. Awaking to the sharp point of a madman's sword, she is hurled into the midst of a bloody 13th-century battle. Just when certain death is eminent, brutal arms surround the lass, dragging her deeper into unknown terror. When Eva realizes she's been hauled to the hideout of rebel William Wallace, a revelation dawns - she has landed the story of a lifetime - if she can stay alive and find a way home to tell her tale. What she doesn't count on is her mounting chemistry with the greatest legend Scotland has ever known...or the absolute love swelling in her heart.

Loved the story

Loved every second of this story. This is the 2nd time im listening to this series and im enjoying it just as much as the first time and probably more as I am not rushing through it. I love this historical romance about William Wallace. Although of course the time travelling and his love affair weren't real, everything else about the battles was. I loved the narrator's voice for the male characters but not for the heroine it sounded as though she was crying most of the time, a bit too whiny for my liking. But Dave Gillies narrating brought the characters to life. Definitely worth a credit.
Now on to the next one which is going to be very sad.

I enjoyed every minute of it! Saor Alba.

An excellent heartwarming story bringing to life the man who was William Wallace. amusing in places and excellent narration. Well done author and narrator for brightening up a dull February near the places he lived and fought for Scotland's freedom.
