Publisher's Summary

Spanning more than two centuries in Ireland, Castle on the Rise unites the legacy of three women who must risk mending their broken places for life, love, and the belief that even through the depths of our pain, a masterpiece of a story can emerge.

When Laine Forrester travels overseas to attend her best friend’s vineyard wedding, she expects to find the bride on the brink of a fairy-tale life. But after a series of unforeseen setbacks, it seems the storybook lives they’d imagined are suddenly ripping apart.

With hopes of resurrecting a happy ending, Laine agrees to accompany the newlyweds to the groom’s home in Ireland - never expecting she’d be the one drawn in by its wide-open moors, backroads bordering the Irish Sea, and a mysterious castle that dares to keep its secrets hidden.

From the storied streets of Dublin to the shores of the Emerald Isle, Laine is drawn in to the land and its rich history. The castle ruins whisper stories of Issy - a photojournalist battling through the 1916 Easter Rising, and Maeve - the castle’s lady of legend, fighting for survival through the 1798 rebellion that started it all.

Spanning more than two centuries, Castle on the Rise unites the legacy of three women who must risk mending the broken places within for life, love, and the belief that even through the depths of our pain, a masterpiece of a story can emerge.

Highly recommended!” (Colleen Coble, USA TODAY best-selling author of Secrets at Cedar Cabin and the Rock Harbor series)

“Cambron’s latest is one of her best. Gripping and epic, this intricately woven tale of three generations seeking truth and justice will stay with you long after the last page.” (Rachel Hauck, New York Times best-selling author)

Second in the Lost Castle series:

An Emotional Masterpiece

"Ireland has a million stories and if you stay long enough you'll learn them all."

Heartfelt, shivery sigh. Followed by some muffled sobs and inelegant hiccups. I need a moment...or a week...to recover from this splendiferous read.

Heart-breaking. Awe-inspiring. Hope-lifting. Sure and Kristy Cambron must have kissed the blarney stone, her words are that eloquent. And greatly enhanced by the narration of Amy Rubinate. I listened to the audible version of this book and I'm so glad I did. It created an evocative mood that heightened Cambron's storytelling prowess. This is one book I think 'reads' best when you listen.

And the story! Well, stories, really -- three distinct time periods at pivotal points in Irish history. Magical and spellbinding. I had no trouble jumping between centuries and connected with each hero and heroine. Honestly -- each timeline story could easily have been published as a standalone novel...but the way Cambron weaves them together! Impeccable pacing -- and the way she stops one story at a heart-plummeting moment and then picks up with the next...wow -- I'm still experiencing reader whiplash. There were times I had to hit pause and collect myself. Pace madly around my house while wringing my hands and moaning..."no, no, NO!" And then wonder if I'd have the courage to press play again.

Castle on the Rise made me homesick (I'm an Irish born Canadian.) It celebrates the courage and conviction and abiding faith of a complex people. There were so many inspirational passages that I'd have jotted down if I'd been reading a paperback copy. I guess I'll have to buy one for my keeper shelf as well. :-)

An emotional masterpiece that quite literally took my breath away.
