This is a tale of two women, separated by over 400 years, whose lives are inexorably intertwined.
Karen, a goal-driven pre-med student, is pursued by two men. Well-bred and wealthy, Martin aligns with her upward ambitions. Peter, her virtuous but poor blue-collar study partner, is loyal and kind but socially inept. After a series of relationship stumbles, an accidental pregnancy forces vacillating Karen to choose Peter. She tries to commit to him; however, after a decade of marriage, nurse practitioner Karen is depressed. Dissatisfied and convinced her blue-collar trailer park life has become a mausoleum of mediocrity, she makes some bad decisions which place her in grave danger.
Mariken awakens with amnesia in 1572 Antwerp during the early stages of the Eighty Years' War. Taken in by kind Mennists, she discovers she has a physician's gift for healing. She meets and falls in love with Pieter, an injured blacksmith with a mysterious past of his own. Unfortunately, her haunting history, inability to remain quietly obscure, and the rising violence against Mennists combine to threaten her safety. Soon, Mariken and her friends, Maeyken Wens, Lijsken, and Janneken van Munstdorp are suspected of heresy and witchcraft.
How are these two women connected? Will either survive the situations they've placed themselves in?

The author, Herbert Wiens is a colorful storyteller that speaks volumes in the comparison of the two women and their stories based on their choices. The two women experience love, loss, and honor in different ways. Wiens did a thorough job of describing both women and their personalities which resulted in their decisions. So much so that I was incredulous at some of the decisions Karen made and cheering for Mariken. By the end of the book, I could not forgive Karen or rather I could not excuse her decisions regardless of why they were made. The emotional connection, good or bad, is what makes Wiens an excellent author.
The added pieces of a serial killer and serial torturer were fresh yet extremely gory! Wiens vividly painted how deranged these two men were and the lengths they would go to have their own pleasure!
The narrator, Kim Owens speaks clearly and with a steady rhythm. She projected the correct amount of emotion and made the characters believable. Further, she kept the story moving forward. I enjoyed her voice as it was soothing and gentle. I give her kudos as she was able to deliver the goriest, most vicious manners of death and torture that is unimaginable without missing a beat!
Overall, this is an interesting book that pushes the listener to actively engage with the characters in several different ways. If you are a fan of serial killing, gore, romance, and more this is the book to hear!
