An action-packed time travel romance, perfect for young fans of Outlander and historical romantasy like Powerless.
'Heart-poundingly brutal, heart-poundingly romantic, this compelling mystery is utterly absorbing.' Amie Kaufman, New York Times bestselling author of The Isles of the Gods
Recently dumped, heart-broken Ana struggles to put the past behind her on a post-graduation summer holiday. When a catastrophic earthquake hits, Ana and the other survivors emerge in a world they don't recognise, stumbling into a 14th century battle.
The students flee and Ana is chased off a cliff by one of the soldiers, Leon, who is badly injured in the fall. Sparks fly between Ana and Leon: to survive, they need to rely on each other and as their trust grows, so does romance.
Together they must endure a treacherous journey and find the legendary mystic everyone calls 'The Saint' who is said to have the power to send Ana home . . . until an unexpected twist changes everything.
'Full of thrills, humour, and more than a little heat, The Lost Saint is a rip-roaring time-slip fantasy by a master storyteller.' Rachael King, bestselling and award-winning author of The Grimmelings
