Reseña del editor:

From the windswept Shetland Islands far to the north of Scotland, to the ancient ruins of Zimbabwe and then to the mystical Mediterranean Isle of Capri, young Vaila takes us on a breathtaking romantic journey of history and intrigue. Meeting the handsome ship's Captain De Marco en route to Capetown proves to be just the beginning of this journey. Their whirlwind romance ultimately leads to the Isle of Capri where mysterious forces present Vaila with feelings of déjà vu. Has she really lived on the island before, or is it all in her mind? The Shetland Isles and the Isle of Capri are geographically remote, yet the cultures appear to collide and captivate Vaila. A deep sense of foreboding accompanies Vaila's presence on the island. Even the joy at the birth of her baby son cannot dispel this feeling of impending doom. The history of Capri calls like a beckoning siren. Vaila's fate appears intertwined with this history and that of the despotic historical figure, the Emperor Tiberius, that looms large in Vaila's ultimate destiny. This is a compelling historical romance taking the reader on a contemporary journey of mystery and intrigue against the backdrop of the magical enchantment of the Isle of Capri.

Biografía del autor:

Helen Ross was born in Edinburgh, in 1921. Although Scottish by birth, she spent most of her early childhood in the windswept Shetland Islands — “The Land of the Midnight Sun” — far from the North of Scotland, just south of the Arctic Circle. Helen’s heart has always been in the Shetlands, and she still has relatives living on Shetland’s most northerly island, Unst. Helen was married to her beloved Archie for 66 years, and they had two sons, Irvine and William. Helen and Archie travelled extensively, Africa and the Isle of Capri being two of her favourite destinations. Helen’s interest in story writing started when she, Archie and their family moved to Australia in the early 1960s. Now in her 80s, Helen is publishing her first novel, which reflects much of her travel experience as well as her keen love of history. Helen now lives on the New South Wales Central Coast with her faithful dog, Kirsty.
