Chronicle Supposing Books Kingdom of Shadows
Barbara Erskine's classic bestseller, the successor to Lady of Hay, at last available as a HarperCollins paperback.In a childless and unhappy marriage, Clare Royland is rich and beautiful – but lonely. And fueling her feelings of isolation is a strange, growing fascination with an ancestress from the distant past. Troubled by haunting inexplicable dreams that terrify – but also powerfully compel – her, Clare is forced to look back through the centuries for answers.
In 1306, Scotland is at war. Isobel, Countess of Buchan, faces fear and the prospect of untimely death as the fighting surrounds her. But passionate and headstrong, her trials escalate when she is persecuted for her part in crowning Robert the Bruce, her lover.
Duncairn, Isobel's home and Clare's beloved heritage, becomes a battleground for passions that span the centuries. As husband Paul's recklessness threatens their security, Clare must fight to save Duncairn, and to save herself from the powers of Isobel…

Loved this book. Have read it 3 or 4 times. Trying to find it for my Kindle. Does anyone know where I can get it electronically?This was an excellent read. I was on the edge of my seat with suspense. For me, this is Barbara Erskines best so far.

Barbara Erskine never fails to deliver an exciting historical fiction even though she uses a set formula of a modern day woman who connects with a woman in the past who is caught in a dangerous web.In this one modern day Clare connects with Scottish Isobel Buchan who has raised the ire of Edward I by participating in the crowning of Robert Bruce.I really regret that I didn't keep all my copies of Erskine's books. Who would have thought that such brilliant books would be impossible to find.That
I received this book as a birthday present and never read anything from this author before.It took me while to get into the book. The main character Claire is a lovely woman, but I found her not very strong. Her relationship which Paul did not make sense and it felt what happened was predictable, till of course Paul looses it completely.Isobel I loved, she is a lot like Clare, but unfortunately she has the time against her and she needs to listen. You can understand her behaviour, although on
