| Plot Summary 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!"
