ABOUT THE BOOK
Two siblings. One fate. A web of secrets that could ensnare them in an inescapable destiny.
In 1883, Charles is a poor farmer desperate to secure financial stability for his mother and sister, as he is unsure which of his time-crossing paths he will choose on his twenty-fifth birthday. Posing as the Earl of Norfolk, he enters the opulent circles of Newport’s elite to assist a fellow time-crossing friend, Drew. But suspicions of his identity arise among the upper crust, and his encounters with Drew’s intriguing sister further complicate decisions that could impact a lifetime.
In 1563, Lady Cecily serves Queen Elizabeth while clinging to the hope that her stepbrother Charles will remain with her in this path. As the true Earl of Norfolk, Charles is deeply entangled in the deadly politics of the court. When he brings Drew, a physician in training, to Windsor Castle to help save the ailing monarch, old feelings for Drew rekindle in Cecily’s heart, but her love faces impossible odds under the strict rules of the crown. As their futures hang by a thread, Charles and Cecily race to prevent their web of secrets from unraveling and ensnaring them in an inescapable destiny.
MY THOUGHTS
The Timeless series is fascinating. Writing about crossing time takes a lot of research into the different time periods and this author really does her research.
Though each can be read as a standalone there are characters mentioned in previous books so it would be beneficial to read past books first.
Taking place in 1563 and 1883 are such different times you couldn’t have asked for something more unlike.
I found the 1563 time period fascinating as I learned so much about it and royalty especially Queen Eliabeth I and her court.
Richly detailed I was immersed in what I was reading and greatly look forward to the next book in the series.
I was given a complimentary copy of this book.
All opinions expressed are my own.
