The Parting Glass — Kate Wingo

In the enchanted mists of Scotland, one woman finds a love that spans the ages.
While exploring a medieval tower on the far-flung Isle of Lewis, Zoe Morrison uncovers a secret doorway. Upon hearing an unseen man call out, Zoe unthinkingly steps across a threshold--whereupon she is hurled through a time portal and transported to the mid-18th century. No sooner does she arrive than she is caught in a whirlwind of armed rebellion and dangerous intrigue. Unable to locate the mysterious doorway, Zoe must now find some other way to return to the 21st century, even as she begins to question where she truly belongs.

Rory MacLeod -- a Highlander who has been sent by Bonnie Prince Charlie to the Hebrides to uncover a magical relic that could turn the tide of battle in favor of the Jacobite army -- is mystified by the beautiful, strangely-clad woman who comes to his rescue when he is captured by English soldiers. As the two of them are drawn ever more deeply into the ancient legends that haunt the windswept isle, and must battle forces of light and darkness, Rory finds himself torn between the demands of clan and country, and the yearnings of his heart.

THE PARTING GLASS is a sweeping tale that evokes the fierce passion, the thrilling adventure, and the breathtaking romance of 18th century Scotland. Fans of Diana Gabaldon and Susanna Kearsley will be enthralled.
