Though Magnus MacLeish and Lark MacDougall grew up on the same castle grounds, Magnus is now laird of the great house and the Isle of Kerrera. Lark is but the keeper of his bees and the woman he is hoping will provide a tincture that might help his ailing wife conceive and bear him an heir. But when his wife dies suddenly, Magnus and Lark find themselves caught up in a whirlwind of accusations, expelled from their beloved island, and sold as indentured servants across the Atlantic. Yet it may be that in this New World, the two of them could make a new beginning - together.

Good Plot
While this book has a good plot, I could not give it a five because it was too sappy. The narrator has a pleasing voice and does an excellent job of acting, but I struggled to see the characters as they were written because her voice for Elizabeth sounded like she was in her late thirties or early forties, and for Noble... What can I say? I've heard Welsh accent from all parts of the country, and this narrator could not do it well. It was very much the accent of someone who comes from India, creating cognitive dissonance when we're talking about Patriots in the Revolutionary War.

Sometimes 'Fair' is the best there is.
Well developed at its beginning I expected a thorough definition of both history and characters. Instead it seemed the author lost interest in both the meaty account of our nation's origin and the people who stood fast to its founding. The last chapter was rushed and nebulous. I won't be rushing on to read another of Frantz's novels neither will I ignore them. I'd rate this book as fair with the exception of the narration quality of Aimee Lilly which alone merited the listen.

Story wonderful but narration not so
This narrator was terrible with Noble’s voice. It was supposed to be Welsh but sounded more like he was from India. It was an annoying voice that I could not get past. Even the women kept slipping in their accent. It was very distracting.

Good read for a Colonial Williamsburg fan, like me
If you are a CW junkie, you will appreciate the references to all our favorite places: The Raleigh Tavern, the Governor's Palace, Bruton Parish Church and much, much more! Clearly Ms. Frantz did her homework! It's a good story! The narrator's male, Welsh accent ...did not ring true. Otherwise, the narration was fair enough. I love Laura Frantz and have several of her books. I will listen to this again!
