Cormaic is a Time Walker, born of a bloodline infused with ancient magic. His father taught him to protect his kin at all cost, a vow Cormaic honored for all of his days - that is, until a drunken night of mourning and a foolish attempt to bend the rules of time travel sends him hurtling forward in time to 2013.
When Jule McLachlan discovers the soused Norseman lying in her cabbage patch blabbering about traveling through time, she refuses to believe his ridiculous claims. Soon she is kicking herself for not shooting him with her rifle as they are thrust back in time to fifteenth century Scotland.
Trapped in 1430 with his own ancestors, suddenly everything Cormaic ever knew about his history takes on new meaning. With an obstinate woman from the future under his protection and no idea how to set things right, he must discover a way to keep them both alive - while keeping his oath of honor intact.

You can't outrun fate it seems? Jule was able to escape once but now it seems danger has found her again. She is blooded one the last of her line and she will do anything not to go back to her time, it is filled with pain and death. Cormaic has no idea where he is all he remembers is using his bloodstone and finding someone standing over him. This is Jule's worst nightmare they have come to take her back and Cormaic needs her tp go back and finish what needs to be done. What they find surprises as the blooded ones are now hidden as they are hunted for their precious power. She knows that she is going to be found out but hopefully Cormaic can keep her safe. Cormaic can't believe that his bloodline is still strong and that he has met many of his extended family but we anybody believe that they aren't from this time and that they both will need to go back eventually. Will Jule escape with her life again or will she realize that this was her destiny? What will they both decide to do now? A great read.
The characters were interesting, but the whole reason behind the plot was lacking. Its about Time Walkers who are a rare commodity in the 15th century. The Author never says what use they really are to the Scottish clan. Yes, they can pass through time, but why is it so useful? They marry a woman to breed more time walking children, then kill them when they are too old to bare children. Why? They can still time travel. At one point in the story an elder alludes to sacrificing one of the 3 in the room to save the laird. In what way would it save him? Besides there were 5 time travelers in the room! It was an entertaining read, but not good enough to entice me to continue the series.
