Detailed plot synopsis reviews of The Dreamer


Yorkshire England 1535, Catherine Percy, eldest of three sisters (who are all fleeing King Henry's men), has arrived at Balvenie Castle, home for John Stewart, earl of Athol(cousin to James V of England). Athol unwittingly compromises Catherine, forcing her to marry him. The story of the tensions and passions these two people incur along with a really good mystery plotline, makes for an enjoyable read! The history is accurately portrayed and is made interesting. Catherine's two sisters each have a story with the conclusion of the mystery of The Treasure of Tiberius. A definite keeper! #2 title is The Enchantress, #3 is The Firebrand. Will be looking forward to reading them!
