A return to Everly Manor brings new dangers

After years of exile, Neve and Hugo return to Everly Manor hoping to build a safe life with their newborn twins. That hope is unsettled when Simon, a man Neve recognizes from the 21st century, emerges through the manor’s time-slip passageway. His arrival points to a future in which Hugo is dead within a year; then soldiers come to arrest him for treason. The novel combines a historical setting with time travel and a family’s efforts to face an uncertain future, placing Neve’s choices at the intersection of personal danger and the consequences of history.

Book overview

Will their homecoming spark happiness, or the ultimate sorrow...?

Returning to the sanctuary of Everly Manor after years of exile, Neve and Hugo wish for nothing more than safety and tranquillity. When Neve gives birth to twins, it brings new joy and hope for their family.

Contemplating the hidden timeslip passageway at Everly that has shaped their lives, Neve is astonished when a man she recognises from the 21st century stumbles through the magical gateway. But Simon's arrival sparks a terrible fear, because according to history, Hugo will be dead within the year...

And then soldiers arrive to arrest and imprison Hugo for treason. Her world thrown into chaos once again, can Neve summon every ounce of courage and resilience to save her husband, or will she be engulfed by the seemingly insurmountable challenges in her path?

A totally captivating and gripping timeslip novel. Perfect for fans of Diana Gabaldon, Paula Brackston and Susanna Kearsley.
