The Whirlpools of Time
He hoped for a wife. He found a companion through time and beyond.
It is 1715 and for Duncan Melville something fundamental is missing from his life. Despite a flourishing legal practice and several close friends, he is lonely, even more so after the recent death of his father. He needs a wife—a companion through life, someone to hold and be held by. What he wasn’t expecting was to be torn away from everything he knew and find said woman in 2016…
Erin Barnes has a lot of stuff going on in her life. She doesn’t need the additional twist of a stranger in weird outdated clothes, but when he risks his life to save hers, she feels obligated to return the favour. Besides, whoever Duncan may be, she can’t exactly deny the immediate attraction.
The complications in Erin’s life explode. Events are set in motion and to Erin’s horror she and Duncan are thrown back to 1715. Not only does Erin have to cope with a different and intimidating world, soon enough she and Duncan are embroiled in a dangerous quest for Duncan’s uncle, a quest that may very well cost them their lives as they travel through a Scotland poised on the brink of rebellion.
Will they find Duncan’s uncle in time? And is the door to the future permanently closed, or will Erin find a way back?
Praise for The Whirlpools of Time:
“When you open an Anna Belfrage story, you know you are in for an exciting and intelligent read. The Whirlpools of Time is no different. There is time travel, plus a courageous heroine, endearing hero, quirky characters, family, a mystery, romance, dreadful villains, the eighteenth century – all deftly written.”
~ Alison Morton, author of award-winning alternative historical fiction,
5* Review
“The narrative of this novel is rich with detail, bringing to life a time gone by, and it is almost as if the reader themselves has fallen through time, and has found themselves in a world so beautifully depicted that they do not want to leave.”
~ Ellie Yarde, Yarde Book Promotions, 5* Editorial Review
“I am a fan of time-slip historical novels, and in this tale, the lives of an 18th century man and 21st century woman collide. Hungry for a mix of adventure with history, romance, politics, a mysterious humming locket, and villains? Then this dish will more than satisfy.”
~ CS, 5* Amazon Review
