The Passage by Irina Shapiro

Does the past hold the key to her future?

Returning to work after a terrible personal tragedy, location scout Neve Ashley visits historic Everly Manor. Touring the elegant Tudor mansion, she's delighted by the vivid tapestries and intricately carved features, and is intrigued by the local legend of Lord Hugo Everly, who vanished without a trace over three hundred years ago. Neve thinks nothing more of the story until, exploring the ancient church crypt, she discovers a mysterious passageway. Stone steps climb up to a heavy wooden door. Hesitantly, she pushes it open...

Suddenly, Neve is in 1685 and directly in the path of Hugo's galloping horse. But unable to explain how she has arrived here, Neve is seized as a spy by an angry and terrifying Hugo. She is taken away from the passage, and her only hope of returning home...

Trapped, and separated from all she knows, Neve needs to figure out an escape. It's clear Hugo doesn't trust her, but as they travel together across the English countryside, Neve starts to understand the plot he's caught up in, and a powerful bond grows between them. When Hugo's enemies strike, Neve makes a desperate choice to save Hugo's life, but revealing her secret might risk more than her heart is willing to give...

Be transported to a world of danger and passion in this unforgettable, gripping and addictive timeslip novel. Perfect for fans of Diana Gabaldon, Paula Brackston and Susanna Kearsley.
