Cover Reveal: Forged in Dreams and Magick

Hello, everyone!

Today is Forged in Dreams and Magick Cover Reveal Day!

Thank you to Julie at ATOMR Tours for organizing the Cover Reveal, and thank you to all the wonderful blogs who participated in sharing this gorgeous cover.

Stephanie Mooney at Mooney Designs created the spectacular cover, transporting us straight into the Highlands of Scotland.

 

Forged in Dreams and Magick Cover

 

Book Description:

Isobel MacInnes wakes up in present-day California, lunches in medieval Scotland, and by ten days’ end, falls in love with a man and his country, only to lose them in a heart-wrenching twist of fate . . .

Found in the arms of her second soul mate . . .

Forced to balance the delicate strands of time between
two millennia . . .

Shocked by revelations rewriting the very foundations of history . . . of everything.

Isobel, a rising-star archaeology student, is dropped into two ancient worlds without warning . . . or her permission. Her fiery spirit resists the dependency thrust upon her. Amid frustration at her lack of control, she helplessly falls in love. Twice.

She struggles to adjust to the unimaginable demands of two leaders of men—a laird in the thirteenth-century Highlands and a Pict chieftain in a more ancient Scotland. Isobel transforms from an academic, hell-bent on obtaining archaeological recognition, to a woman striving to care for those she loves, and ultimately . . . into a fearless warrior risking everything to protect them.
