Publisher Description
A spellbinding tale of destiny, love, and secrets buried deep in the past, from beloved storyteller Posie Graeme-Evans.
Jesse Marley has always believed in facts, not fate. Practical and independent, she trusts only what she can see — until her world is shattered by two devastating revelations: she discovers she was adopted, and moments later, is struck down by a motorbike.
Confined to a London hospital and unable to speak, Jesse begins to draw. Mysterious images pour from her hands — a medieval castle, a knight in armour, a hauntingly familiar woman’s face. Places she has never seen. Memories that cannot be hers.
Her neurologist, Rory Brandon, is both fascinated and unnerved. Because he knows the castle Jesse keeps sketching. He has been there.
Drawn together by forces neither can explain, Rory takes Jesse to Hundredfield, an ancient fortress hidden in the wild Scottish Borderlands and home to the noble Dieudonné family for centuries. There, amid crumbling stone walls and echoes of a violent fourteenth-century past, Jesse uncovers a history steeped in loyalty, betrayal, war, and forbidden love.
But Hundredfield holds more than secrets. It holds the truth about Jesse herself.
As past and present collide, Jesse must confront an extraordinary destiny that has been waiting for her across generations — because some bonds can never be broken, and some lives are destined to find each other again.
Rich in mystery, romance, and historical intrigue, this sweeping novel weaves together medieval Scotland and modern-day London in an unforgettable story of fate, family, and the enduring power of love.
