Publisher's Summary

Music is not bound by time.

Adeena Stuart and Katharine Carnegie were born nearly three centuries apart. Yet, their music and an ancient cello connect them to each other and to a man doomed to die in 1746 after the Battle of Culloden.

In book one of the Song for a Lost Kingdom series, Adeena receives an untitled musical score from her dying grandmother in Scotland. When the score is played on the oldest surviving cello ever made in the UK, the music connects Adeena directly to the past as Katharine struggles to find words to complete her symphonic tour-de-force in the midst of the Scottish uprising against Union with England.

But Adeena is not a scientist or historian. What she wants more than anything is to compose music and to join the National Arts Centre Orchestra in Ottawa. Just as she is about to realize her wish, she’s lifted away, out of her control, and immersed in her ancient family history. As she is buffeted back and forth between the worlds, she grows to want more of the past, even though the promise of her most yearned for dreams are coming true in 2018.

Not even her passionate boyfriend can keep her rooted in the present, especially when another man from the past falls for her and her music. Although unsure whether her time travel is a hallucination, she’s willing to steal a five million dollar cello to get back to the 1700’s.

Song for a Lost Kingdom: Book 1, begins a journey of discovery between two women who share the same musical soul and love for the same doomed man. Rich in history, romance, and paranormal science fiction, lose yourself in a story that will sweep you away in a mysterious time-slip adventure.

I'm telling all my friend's to read this series

Adeena's life is her music, now and always. Even 300 years ago when she was a different woman, and lived another life. So when a beautiful old cello is placed in her hands she knows it was once hers, in that other life. She can feel the magic of it calling to something deep inside her.

I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook. I felt as though I could pass through time with Adeena. The vivid characters and detailed descriptions of places really pulled me in and I allowed myself to become deeply  immersed in the story.

Did I mention the music? It is beautiful and haunting. I liked it so much that I would gladly buy a download of that song.

This is the first book in the series but it's the second one I've heard because I got book two first. So this filled in some background stuff for me about events and characters. I seem to be doing this series a bit backwards, so I'm going to see if I can get my hands on the prequel next.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
