About the Book

Picture
Lady Margaret Grey of Hartfell wants for nothing. The daughter of a knight, she has a loving family, wealth, and even a secret romance with the blacksmith's son. But all that is torn from her one fateful night when her home is attacked and her family killed. She is left with nothing but bitterness, an unwavering mistrust of men, and a strange and mysterious curse that allows her to feel the thoughts of anyone who touches her.

Now, after six years away, Margaret is returning home for one reason: revenge. She hopes that by avenging her family's deaths, she will somehow be freed from her curse. But it won't be easy. The identities of the raiders are still unknown, she has little left to her name, and traveling alone in the Northumbrian hills during the border wars is dangerous. Matters are further complicated by handsome Angus Robson, a Scotsman whose charm threatens to distract her from her plans. But the raiders are closer than she knows, and Margaret soon realizes that what she believed to be a curse may be the key to finding those she seeks. One touch will reveal the truth.

Review

From Ash and Stone by Julie Daines is an exciting and splendid read.  From page one, Daines will catch the attention of readers with her characters and story.  Filled with plenty of excitement and adventure, this story has twists and turns that will put readers on the edge of their seats and turning the pages for more.  There is also a fun and enjoyable romance that develops throughout the story.  Some themes also in the novel were seeking revenge and letting go of the past.  Readers that enjoy historical medieval romance will be sure to delight in this thrilling tale!
