Book Synopsis



Brimming with romance, adventure and vivid historical detail, Christina Courtenay's gripping dual-time novel travels from the present day to the battles of West Mercia . . .

'Courtenay writes so beautifully, drawing you in to each scene, that time and pages slip by effortlessly' ERIN GREEN
'Whenever I need a break from the 21st Century, I read one of Christina Courtenay's novels' SUE MOORCROFT
'The Queen of Viking Romance' CATHERINE MILLER
__________________________

West Mercia, AD 873
Merewen's settlement is on guard against the threat of the 'Heathen' Norsemen. But for Merewen, the threats are also coming from within, as her future is cruelly snatched away from her. Eirik, a Norseman, finds himself abandoned and injured after a plunder of Mercian land goes wrong. He thinks his fate is sealed - until an angel, bearing the name Merewen, saves his life.

Hereford, Present Day
Alix moves to her uncle's farm in Hereford, where she hopes to heal her recently broken heart. But something strange is in the air. Every time she touches a crystal pendent - a family heirloom gifted to her - she is haunted by memories of a life she never lived, of a relationship she never had, in a time she never existed in. A Viking hoard was discovered on Noah's farm by his sister and her criminal boyfriend. Hounded by the police, Noah must find the rest of the treasure whilst also deciphering the strange connection he has to Alix - a connection that seems to transcend their reality.

As the echoes of the past seep into the present, lose yourself in the evocative and romantic novels of Christina Courtenay that your favourite authors just can't get enough of:

From the Back Cover



He'd had the odd vivid dream, but the ones with bloodshed had stopped.
Instead they'd all been filled with passion and a deep, abiding love
that made him wake up feeling happy and contented.

West Mercia, AD 873.
Merewen's settlement is on guard against the outside threat of the 'Heathen' Norsemen. But for Merewen, the real threats are from within, as her future is cruelly snatched away from her.

Eirik, a Norseman, finds himself abandoned and injured after his uncle's plunder of Mercian land goes wrong. He thinks his fate is sealed - until Merewen saves his life.

Hereford, Present Day.
Left reeling after a huge betrayal, Alix moves to her grandfather's farm in Hereford to heal her broken heart. There, after being given a family heirloom, she soon finds herself haunted by memories of a life she never lived, a relationship she never had, and a time in which she never existed.

Local farmer Noah is being hounded by the police to find the Viking hoard that his sister and her criminal boyfriend stole from his farm. Noah must prove his own innocence while struggling to decipher the curious connection he has to newcomer Alix - a bond that seems to transcend their own reality.

As they search for the lost treasure, Alix and Noah start to feel the whispers of a love they never expected, one powerful enough to echo through history.

About the Author



Christina Courtenay is an award-winning author of historical romance and time slip (dual time) stories. She started writing so that she could be a stay-at-home mum to her two daughters, but didn't get published until daughter number one left home aged twenty-one, so that didn't quite go to plan! Since then, however, she's made up for it by having eleven novels published and winning the RNA's Romantic Novel of the Year Award for Best Historical Romantic Novel twice with Highland Storms (2012) and The Gilded Fan (2014), and once for Best Fantasy Romantic Novel with Echoes of the Runes (2021).

Christina is half Swedish and grew up in that country. She has also lived in Japan and Switzerland, but is now based in Herefordshire, close to the Welsh border. She's a keen amateur genealogist and loves history and archaeology (the armchair variety).
