Song for a Lost Kingdom, Book I

A time-slip fantasy adventure powered by music that refuses to be bound by time - and an impossible love that defies the fate determined by history.

"This book grabbed me instantly and it was one of the best I've read that combines my love of music, belief in time-travel, and love of historical romance!" - Vanessagram

Crushed with the rejection of joining a world-renowned orchestra, a modern-day cellist finds new hope in an unexpected summons to Scotland. Her dying grandmother has a gift for her; a lost music score that Adeena performs on the oldest surviving cello ever made in the United Kingdom.

As she plays... time transforms.

A connection is made through the music to Katharine, another young cellist and composer in Scotland, though the year is 1745.

Their connection is cemented by the love of the same man doomed to die after the Battle of Culloden in 1746. The power of a priceless cello connects two souls that share the same heart in all that truly matters to them - love and the maddening drive to compose, and to perform.

In Music is Not Bound by Time, Book I of the Song for a Lost Kingdom trilogy, the timeless power of music transcends the limitations of the ordinary world for those who can listen through their heart.
