Can she keep her family safe?

Devoted wife and mother Valerie Whitfield is torn between two centuries. Born in twentieth-century America, Valerie once believed her adventuring days were over when she settled down with her husband, Alec, in colonial Virginia. But when her precious children become embroiled in dangerous affairs, Valerie faces unimaginable challenges.

Her beloved daughter, Louisa, has fallen in love with a dashing rogue and now knows a secret that could ruin her and tear the family apart. Meanwhile Valerie's son, Finn, is risking his life as a spy in the American Revolution, a war that Valerie knows will shape the course of history - but which could also claim the lives of those she holds most dear.

Valerie faces a terrible choice: should she use her knowledge of the future to try to protect her children, even if it means altering the course of history? Can she find a way to reconcile her modern sensibilities with the harsh realities of seventeenth-century life? And through it all, can she be true to herself and her own heart's desires?

A sweeping story of romance, intrigue and gut-wrenching choices, the fourth epic installment in the Hands of Time series is perfect for fans of Diana Gabaldon, Barbara Erskine and Susanna Kearsley.
