SLEEPER'S CASTLE

A new time-slip novel from bestselling author of LADY OF HAY

Two women. Centuries apart. Linked by a place haunted by its history.

Hay-On-Wye, 1400. War is brewing on the Welsh/English borders. For two centuries, Wales has been under the English yoke, its people dreaming of independence. Finally it looks as though the charismatic Owain Glyndwr may be the man to bring them victory.

Nestled on the border lies Sleeper's Castle, home to Catrin, an intelligent young woman with gifts her soothsayer father Dafydd is determined to suppress. Called upon to foretell Wales's destiny, Catrin is caught in the middle of a dangerous political game. All she can see is blood and war coming closer.

Hay, present day. Miranda has moved to Sleeper's Castle to escape and grieve. Slowly, she feels herself coming to life in the solitude of the mountains. But every time she closes her eyes her dreams become more vivid, and she's drawn into a time where neighbour is set against neighbour, father against son. As her dreams turn to nightmares, Miranda and Catrin make a connection. Catrin is reaching out and only Miranda can help.
When your home is alive with history it can be a dangerous place to live. It's time for Sleeper's Castle to remember the past. And time is running out
