This book gives you an insight into some of the events in Scotlands history and also into the life of Mary queen of Scots... and despite its heavy content is really enjoyable. This book had a lot going on; a mysterious legacy, a lawyer faced with temptation, 2 people unwilling to open themselves to hurt and a siege on a castle - plus time travel.
"Taking her crew from New York to Scotland, Taylor uses the opportunity to ! check out an inheritance from a relative of whose existence she hadn't known. Handed down through the ladies of the family, there is a diary and letters detailing Mary's chalice, The Scottish Rose, as well as its hiding place during the Cromwell era.
Duncan Fraser is a widower who has turned into himself after the deaths of his two young sons. Such fulfillment as his life has now, is as the chief of the coastal rescue mission. Although in his opinion he has rescued entirely too many fool-hardy wanderers from the rough North Sea around the Ladysgate, he can't imagine quite why he is so concerned about someone who hasn't even asked for his help. Instinctively, he senses her plea for help over time and distance, and plunges into the past after her. Together, they, along with the deaf-mute boy, Pauley, contrive to become a part of history without distorting it."
