Thistles and Shadows

By: Byers, Danielle Ann

When modern historian Dr. Aris Thorne uncovers a forgotten ledger in the archives of Edinburgh, he doesn't expect it to pull him three centuries into the past-into the heart of the 1745 Jacobite Rising. There, amidst clans, battles, and ancient secrets, he meets Freya MacBrayne, a fierce Highland woman bound by a mystical covenant with the legendary Nicneven, the Queen of Shadows.

As Aris navigates a world on the brink of destruction, he faces a truth he cannot change: history records a massacre at Culloden Moor. Yet love, loyalty, and the whisper of magic blur the line between destiny and defiance. Each choice brings him closer to a fate entwined with Freya's-and to a decision that could alter both their worlds forever.

Rich with Scottish folklore, time-travel mystery, and heart-wrenching romance, Thistles and Shadows is a haunting journey through rebellion and remembrance. It's a story of love that defies centuries, of clans who vanish into legend, and of the echoes that linger where history meets myth.
