A Master of the Time-Slip Novel.
Barbara Erskine is the No.1 Sunday Times bestselling author of more than a dozen novels and several collections of short stories, beginning with the phenomenon that launched her career, Lady of Hay. For over forty years she has made the time-slip novel her own, braiding meticulous historical research with the supernatural so that the past never quite lets go of the present. The Valley of Ravens draws on the history of thirteenth-century Wales and the wild landscape she knows and loves.
Some vows echo down the centuries.
A Cursed Valley, a Prince, and a Promise
In the present day, Eve arrives in a remote, reputedly cursed valley to restore a long-abandoned cottage known as The Witch’s House — only to find the past pressing in around her. Eight centuries earlier, in 1260, a young healer named Alys discovers Llewelyn, the last true Prince of Wales, wounded and hunted on the battlefield. The vow Alys makes to guard his final secret sets in motion a chain of consequences that reaches across the generations, until the two women’s fates become impossible to separate.
Inside the Story:
- A gripping dual timeline between now and 1260 Wales
- The last true Prince of Wales and a healer’s vow
- A haunting valley where the past will not rest
If you love history that haunts… turn the page.
Editor’s Notes:
- Atmospheric, romantic, and quietly unsettling.
- A master of the time-slip novel at the top of her form.
