In her latest witchy historical romance (after The Witch's Daughter, The Winter Witch, and The Midnight Witch) Brackston interweaves two distinct story lines, told from the points of view of two women, revealing mystical connections between Tilda Fordwells and a tenth-century shaman named Seren. When Tilda moves into a Welsh lakeside cottage that she and her late husband had purchased, she develops new powers and begins to have frightening visions. The inexplicable happenings lead Tilda, along with the help of a handsome archaeologist, Dylan, to delve into the centuries-old story of Seren and the prince she was once responsible for protecting.
VERDICT Vivid Welsh historical details, haunting surroundings, and Gothic magical elements both enchant and perplex the reader as Tilda and Dylan strive to unravel the mysteries of the past before the present danger overwhelms them. Readers who savor richly detailed paranormal fiction or have enjoyed Brackston's previous novels will want to give this one a try. [See Prepub Alert, 10/5/14.]
