Description
Kingdom of Shadows by Barbara Erskine is a spellbinding blend of historical fiction and supernatural suspense, following two women connected across the centuries. Clare Royland, trapped in a childless and unhappy marriage, begins experiencing vivid dreams and visions tied to her ancestor, Isobel, Countess of Buchan. These dreams are more than imagination—they are haunting, powerful, and impossible to ignore.
In 1306, Scotland is torn by war as Robert the Bruce rises to claim the throne. Isobel, bold and passionate, risks everything when she plays a vital role in his coronation, a choice that brings her both love and persecution. Centuries later, Clare finds herself drawn into Isobel’s world, discovering that her own life and future are deeply bound to her ancestor’s fate.
First published after Erskine’s breakthrough novel Lady of Hay, this bestselling story is a sweeping tale of love, betrayal, courage, and destiny. Perfect for readers who enjoy epic historical drama with a mystical edge, it is a haunting reminder of how the past can echo through time.
