Grief drove her to the edge of the world. Time carried her somewhere else entirely.
After losing her daughter, Maggie escapes to the Scottish countryside, seeking solitude in the shadow of ancient Dunadd Fort. But when she stops taking the medication that has long controlled her seizures—and dulled her emotions—she begins slipping into another time.
Suddenly, the ruined fort stands whole. The past is alive. And Maggie is no longer alone.
In the court of Queen Brighde, Maggie is taken in by Fergus, a grieving prince whose gentleness and strength stir feelings she thought were gone forever. As Maggie finds herself falling for Fergus—and for the life she’s discovered in this distant century—she must face an impossible truth:
Her time there is running out.
With a life-altering surgery waiting in the present, Maggie must choose between the world she knows and the one that feels like home.
A sweeping story of love, loss, and second chances across time.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. MAGGIE TRAVELS THROUGH TIME TO 8TH CENTURY SCOTLAND, FINDING NEW HOPEThe fog Maggie's seizure medication induces has numbed her over the years to a bad marriage but cannot ease the pain of the recent loss of her young daughter to the same affliction. With her life crumbling about her, she flees to a cottage at the base of Dunadd Fort, once the royal seat of Scotland, but now in ruins. As the pills she should be taking accumulate in a saucer on the kitchen counter, Maggie's reality begins to shift out of the present and back to the 8th century heyday of the fort, where Queen Brighde reigns with her two sons. Murdoch, her heir, is unyielding and imperious, but the younger son, Fergus, who still suffers from the loss of his wife, is a kinder man. It is he who takes in this strange-looking creature that appears at the gates of the fort and whom he comes to call mo chridhe, my heart. Maggie is smitten, not only by Fergus but by his young daughter, who reminds her so much of her own. But Maggie's travel back to ancient Dunadd is limited by her seizures, and threatened altogether by a looming surgery that promises to end Maggie's time drift for good.
