About this listen
From the bestselling author of Lady of Hay.
Adam Craig is fourteen when he meets Brid near an isolated Celtic stone in the wild Scottish Highlands – he is fascinated by her. They become friends, and, in time, passionate lovers. She leads him, unsuspecting, into the sixth century, where she has mastered the ancient mysteries and dangerous magic of the Druids.
In her obsession with Adam, Brid is seen as a traitor by her people, only escaping death by following Adam to Edinburgh, when he leaves home to study medicine.
As the years pass he makes new friends and finds new love. But Brid is consumed by jealousy and haunts him like an evil shadow, until, fifty years on, Adam’s granddaughter helps him discover the secret that will free them from the terror of Brid’s curse.

Speechless with Joy and admiration A.H
Thank you Barbara Erskine and the Wonderful, very talented, Narrator.
Since I purchased, the very first, Paperback, The Lady Of Hay by Barbara Erskine, I have been an avid Fan.
Not one book failed to give me, Satisfaction, Historical Facts with Fantastic Story lines.
I pre-ordered the Audio version and was like a Child waiting for Christmas !
The Story is phenomenal, due to the always, in-depth research, around which the Story is interwoven.
Thank you for the Hours of escapism and learning.
I adored this Book.
Is it better than all your others, Ms Erskine ?
That’s not the case for me. Personally, I believe this is equal with The Lady of Hay.
Surprising and outstanding !

Tedious narration and boring story
9 chapters in and I lost the will to live. The story is slow, repetitive and mind numbing. Sorry, not a fan of this and unwilling to waste another minute on it.
