An exciting end to the trilogy.
I have been waiting for this book for ages because at the end of the last book my namesake had been left tied up in a barn and her kidnapper had died and no one knew where she was. So as you can see I had a vested interest in finding out if Nicole had survived or been left to die a rather unpleasant death by dehydration. In the meantime the major characters continue their time travelling adventures whist trying to stop Jane, the former Mayor, from changing history. As the very fabric of time twists out of shape time travellers in both the ancient world and modern must work together to stop History as we know it from changing . Did Nicole escape? That would be telling you will just have to read the books. You won’t be disappointed as Kirsten brings to life the past and merges it with the present. I guarantee that you will end the series hoping that every ancient item you hold will take you off on your own time traveling adventure . Maybe it’s time for another trip to Avebury and Stonehenge
