A story of love, loss, power, and peril. Will stir the spirits and enchant the reader.”
—Marilyn Brant, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of According to Jane and The Road to You
Voices from a Distant Room is a story of fate, ancient mysteries and eternal love. It begins five millennia ago, about the same time as the oldest Egyptian pyramids, as the Callanish Stones were being erected on a bleak island in the Outer Hebrides. One afternoon, a boy discovers an unknown cave. Venturing inside he stumbles upon pebbles that when touched, glow with no light. When he brings them to his tribal Shaman, he is told he is blessed; the stones have magic. While this bodes well for the boy and his future, the Shaman, through power and greed, overreaches.
In 1973, a young American woman named Cia Reynolds meets artist Will Jamieson, supposedly by chance, at an exhibition in London. Immediately aware of a powerful connection, he begins to pursue a relationship with her, albeit long distance. As their romance blossoms, Cia starts to question muffled whispers, otherworldly occurrences and an ancient Celtic ring that Will wears, one with a stone that not only glows but sparks blue fire. The mystery intensifies when Will is inexplicably drawn to the stone circle at Callanish, and then to a nearby inn where an impenetrable mist traps them between reality and illusion. Realizing he has questions that appear to have no answers, Will finds himself in a struggle with a sinister, ancient entity that threatens his, and Cia’s very existence.
