Product Description
Love survives the ravages of time..Set against the backdrop of the Taklamakan Desert, Fiona, a beautiful, modern young woman of Celtic heritage, finds herself transported to ancient China during a time of barbarian warriors and marauding nomads from the northern steppes; at what was then a crossroad between East and West. Fiona discovers a new way of life in the arms of the handsome warrior, Kellach, a man of noble stature and a leader among the Celtic settlements ringing the great desert. Desperate to return home to the present while struggling against her mounting feelings, Fiona finally accepts her fate, exulting in the rapture and delights of Kellach's love; only to have Voadicia, a beautiful seductress, destroy that dream of happiness. Kellach's soul searches the mists of time, yearning to be reunited with his one true mate.

Review from Fallen Angels Review February 18, 2008
Fiona Sutton is beautiful, young, and of Celtic heritage. Even her name is Celtic and means if it matters one bit. She and her family make preparations to attend the Celtic festival. The Saline Festival is one of the largest Celtic festivals of the year. On her way to meet her mother at the fair, Fiona is in a car accident that changes her life. After being knocked unconscious, she begins wondering if she is having hallucinations when she finds herself in another time and place. Befriended by some people passing by, she is taken to their home. As she heals, she learns about the people. Ancient China holds a time when nomads wandered and warriors were often barbaric, and Fiona is in the midst of events. One person, in particular, who strikes a cord in her heart, is Kellach, a very handsome warrior and master of seduction. He plays an instrument known as the Ruan, and even though a novice, he does well, while on a quest to win Fiona's heart. As one of Celtic heritage, he and Fiona discover a love like no other but it appears that consequences stir up a force to reckon with when she is cast back to the present. She tries to explain everything to her parents but they are certain it's trauma from the accident. This can't be happening to her, she is married to Kellach and now she is back home, as if nothing happened. She is certain it was real. Somehow she has to find a way back to Kellach or has he disappeared into the mists of time?
The excitement and joy I felt after reading this book was enormous. Fiona is a love to pass all loves. The characters are crafted well, making them almost believable in all their actions and emotions. Rich in historical data, I was carried in time, right along with Fiona, as she meets Kellach for the first time. Just imagining waking up and finding oneself in another time period with different lifestyles and people, this story was so gripping it was like being in the center of all the action. I found this page-turner hard to put down once I started it. The way P. L. Parker allows Fiona to learn another way of life and get caught in all the different aspect that surrounds her is marvelously done. She blends a romance to last through eternity, it is absolutely timeless. Impressible, implausible, and elegantly done, this is one story that I don't think I will ever forget!

This is an absolutely wonderful book to read. The way that Ms. Parker describes the characters, they actually come alive when you are reading this book. It is full of wonderful historical information and interesting characters that are really well described. This is one book that is hard to put down until you have read the whole thing. A must read.

I loved the book. Once I started reading it, I couldn't let go.... The book had everything in it---the busy modern every day life, mother/daughter relationship, child birth, the simple life, the everlasting love, and especially the unknown. The book touched me in a way that it's hard to explain, and I'm sure everyone will connect to it in their own ways. It's hard enough being an outsider whatever the circumstances may be. The young and beautiful girl, Fiona, has the ability to easily adapt to her new surroundings, learn a new culture, and continue being strong without forgetting who she truly is. I was very impressed by the way the author commingled the good with not so good things in life. There is so much more to this book... the romance, the other characters. I would definitely recommend Fiona to everyone. WHAT A GREAT BOOK!
