History has all but forgotten.... In the spring of 1708, an invading Jacobite fleet of French and Scottish soldiers nearly succeeded in landing the exiled James Stewart in Scotland to reclaim his crown. Now, Carrie McClelland hopes to turn that story into her next best-selling novel. Settling herself in the shadow of Slains Castle, she creates a heroine named for one of her own ancestors and starts to write. But then she discovers her novel is more fact than fiction....

Marianne Brownlee is running out of reasons to get up in the morning. Her unusual job has burnt her out, and she’s been feeling out of touch with her faith and her purpose since the disappearance of her cousin, Cora. Marianne is a telephone psychic and tarot card reader, and during a last-ditch effort to reach out to Cora, she discovers that her spells have real power, and she has been transported back in time to the Scottish Highlands. Marianne must use all her bravery to survive in the wild Scottish Highlands - and take care of some unfinished business.
