Description

"You know a book is well-written when it feels as if you are walking along side the characters. I felt Eva's astonishment and wonder at her time travel. I felt her heartbreak when William tries to leave her at the monastery and I felt her excitement when he confessed how much she had come to mean to him in such a short time." - Night Owl Reviews "There comes a time in every author's career where all words that have been written before are surpassed by one great piece. RISE OF A LEGEND is Ms. Jarecki's pivotal work of perfection." - InD'Tale Magazine "Breathtaking!xa0 Jarecki is a master at weaving history, danger, and passion into a spectacular story. xa0Rise of a Legend sets the bar for Scottish time travel romance.xa0 This is a one-sitting read, fast-paced, riveting, and simply perfect." xa0 ~ Sue-Ellen Welfonder, USA Today Bestselling Author

Features & Highlights

  • Winner of a RONE Award for Best Time Travel!
  • Running away from her catastrophic life, historical journalist Eva MacKay joins an archaeological dig at the battleground of Loudoun Hill. Unearthing the seal of William Wallace, Eva gains notoriety. But her dreams of Bowie knives—the weapon that murdered her husband—morph into great swords and dirks.Drawn to a ruined monastery, Eva drifts into the worst nightmare of all. Awaking to the sharp point of a madman’s sword, she’s hurled into the midst of a bloody thirteenth century battle. Just when certain death is eminent, brutal arms surround the lass, dragging her deeper into unknown terror.When Eva realizes she’s been hauled to the hideout of rebel William Wallace, a revelation dawns—she’s landed the story of a lifetime—if she can stay alive and find a way home to tell her tale.What she doesn’t count on is her mounting chemistry with the greatest legend Scotland has ever known…or the absolute love swelling in her heart.

DG Outlander lovers, please try these 2 books

Rise of a Legend #1 & In the Kingdom's Name #2 (really should buy at same time to read entire story covered in 2 books) - Cannot say enough good things about these books. IMO Amy Jarecki's writing/story telling captured me into her story. These 2 books are up there with DG's Outlander except with AJ's books you know from the beginning what eventually happens to Wallace & wonder how the author will handle the end - which was unexpected for me. I felt sad for days after reading these books. The grammar/punctuation/storytelling is excellent. I will be getting more of her books & truly hope they are as good as these books. Would recommend to all who love Scot/Highlander time travel. Spoiler - very sad and far more powerful than Braveheart movie.

A Pleasant Surprise !

At first I was reluctant to order a time-travel book, but my admiration for Amy Jareckie's work led me to get it. I was pleasantly surprised and very pleased after I had read it. Excellent plot that carries the novel along with a great character as the lead.

Meeting a historical hero..

How do you meet your personal historical hero and how do you deal with the fact that you cannot influence his history. This is an interesting, and well researched story of the early rise of William Wallace, and no it has nothing to do with Braveheart. But the historical storyline is accurate enough not to make your teeth grind and the the characters are charming enough, that they work as a romance. So enjoy!
