The Velvet Cloak of Moonlight
(2016)(The fourth book in the Shadows from the Past series)
A novel by Christina Courtenay
Award-winning Christina Courtenay weaves a masterful blend of historical intrigue and spellbinding romance.
They are separated by centuries.
But bound by fate.
Tess Hargreaves is renovating Merrick Court, a grand estate by Raglan Castle, tied to her late husband's lineage.
There she uncovers a portrait of Arabella and Rhys, a young couple from seventeenth-century Wales, triggering a series of dormant memories from Raglan Castle’s final siege in 1646.
With the help of handsome and mysterious Josh Owens, Tess delves into the secrets of her ancestral home. She realises that Arabella and Rhys’s unfinished story is intertwined with her own as she is haunted by visions.
And now history is repeating itself.
As Tess and Josh piece together the tapestry of Arabella and Rhys’s tragic love story, they realise it has striking similarities to their own budding romance.
It seems the past has secrets to tell — and all they have to do is listen.
Fans of Barbara Erskine, Kate Mosse, Susanna Kearsley, Irina Shapiro or Kirsty Ferry will be enchanted until the very last page.
Shortlisted for the Romantic Novel Awards in the Paranormal or Speculative Romance Novel Category.
