For fans of Diana Gabaldon and Philippa Gregory, courtly rivalry and intrigue...

1613: King James - sixth of Scotland, first of England, son of Mary, Queen of Scots - has unified both countries under one crown. But the death of his eldest son, Henry, has plunged the nation into mourning, as the rumours rise the prince was poisoned.

Andrew Logan's heard the rumours, but he's paid them little heed. As one of the King's Messengers he has enough secrets to guard, including his own. In these perilous times, when the merest suggestion of witchcraft can see someone tortured and hanged, men like Andrew must hide well the fact they were born with the Sight.

He'll need all his gifts, though, when the king sends Andrew north to find and arrest Sir David Murray, once Prince Henry's trusted courtier, and bring him a prisoner to London to stand trial before the dreaded Star Chamber.

A story of treachery, betrayal and love...

Praise for The Vanished Days:

'Fascinating and immersive... I love a novel that deals with the many ways in which people keep their secrets' DIANA GABALDON

'A hugely engrossing book and a complete world created' IAN RANKIN

'The Vanished Days is an absolute tour de force of historical storytelling, tender and dramatic, gripping and authentic. Kearsley manages effortlessly to balance the epic sweep of the drama with telling moments of gentle characterization, all delivered in pitch-perfect style. I thoroughly enjoyed it: a perfect escape in these dark days' JANE JOHNSON, author of The Salt Road and The Tenth Gift

'An engrossing and deeply romantic novel of Scotland's Jacobite rebellion' RACHEL HORE

'This novel tells of a tender love story set amid the Jacobite rebellion. For readers unfamiliar with the twists and turns of this period of Scottish history, author Kearsley provides a helpful map, along with rich details of the protagonists. Courage in this era lies not in acts of heroic daring, but in steadfast pursuit of truth and justice. Perfect for fans of Diana Gabaldon's Outlander' WOMAN & HOME
