Dr. Arilyn Hayes is a brilliant historian, a woman grounded in facts and evidence. But her own history is a mystery, haunted by vivid dreams of a windswept Scottish castle and a love affair that feels more real than her waking life. In her dreams, she is Elspeth, a clansman’s daughter in the tumultuous 18th century, and she is deeply in love with a fierce warrior named Calum.
When a prestigious fellowship sends her to the very castle from her dreams—now a crumbling ruin on the brink of demolition—she feels an undeniable connection to the stones. She soon discovers that the man fighting to preserve the castle, a rugged and passionate architect named Ewan, is the mirror image of her dream lover, Calum.
Together, they uncover a story of forbidden love and a devastating betrayal that ended in tragedy centuries ago. Arilyn and Ewan must now fight not only to save the castle but also to understand the echoes of a past that bind them together. As memories of their previous lives surface, they realize a rival developer determined to destroy the castle may be linked to the ancient enemy who tore them apart. They must right the wrongs of the past to finally give their timeless love a future.
