Veil of Time by Claire R. McDougall Review


A compelling tale of two Scotlands—one modern, one ancient—and the woman who parts the veil between them. The medication that treats Maggie’s seizures leaves her in a haze, but it can’t dull her grief at losing her daughter to the same condition. With her marriage dissolved and her son away at school, Maggie retreats to a cottage below the ruins of Dunadd, once the royal seat of Scotland. But is it fantasy or reality when she awakens in a bustling village within the massive walls of eighth-century Dunadd? In a time and place so strange yet somehow familiar, Maggie is drawn to the striking, somber Fergus, brother of the king and father of Illa, who bears a keen resemblance to Maggie’s late daughter. With each dreamlike journey to the past, Maggie grows closer to Fergus and embraces the possibility of staying in this Dunadd. But with present-day demands calling her back, can Maggie leave behind the Scottish prince who dubs her mo chridhe, my heart?

My Review:
This was a great time travel romance. The author easily has her characters move through time. I did not expect the ending , and I was happy with it. I felt bad for Maggie, because she lost her daughter, and I wanted her to be happy. I would love to see these characters travel through time again in a sequel. I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy to review from Night Owl Reviews, however all opinions are my own.
