Highly recommend reading this book, even if you haven’t started this author’s books yet. She writes in a conversational way that makes the history come alive.

This is a book you will want to read from cover to cover, many times. I am of both Irish and Scottish descent and I was simply enchanted!

— Amazon Customer Jenjwater

I have always been enchanted with stories that are set in Ireland and Scotland. I could never really explain it, but this book just nails it, why we, readers and authors, are so taken by the land, its history and magical qualities, the tragedy and drama, the deception and treachery.

Martina Boone can weave magic. This is a book that I will read again and again. So much history and written so that the book is fascinating.

— Amazon Customer Sandy B

An enthralling, sweeping blend of history and legend.

— Reader Recs

From the Highlands of Scotland to the Beara peninsula in Ireland, this paints the picture of the behind-the-scenes from my favorite romantic novels, putting them context and giving me new perspectives. I loved the way it was told–so conversationally I felt like the author had taken me by the hand and was just telling me a really interesting and personal story.
