Summary
The brand-new gripping historical novel from the Sunday Times best-selling author of Lady of Hay!
Mercia, 788 AD
In the grand Saxon halls of Mercia, King Offa rules with cold ambition. His youngest daughter, Eadburh, is destined for an arranged marriage, but with reckless spirit, her heart is taken by a Welsh prince, a man she can never be matched with and who is quickly and cruelly taken from her.
Eadburh inherited her father’s ruthless ways, but it’s the gifts passed down from her mother that are far more dangerous. She is determined to carve her own place in the world, yet her path could cause war.
Offa’s Dyke, 2021
In a cottage hidden amongst the misty Welsh hills of Offa’s Dyke, Bea Dalloway is called to help Simon Armstrong, who is searching for peace. Instead he finds himself disturbed by unsettling noises and visions.
It isn’t long before Bea is also swept up by haunting dreams. The past is whispering to them, calling out for the truth to be told at last. And as dreams and reality weave closer together, Bea and Simon must be strong to resist the pull of the past—and its desire for revenge....
The Sunday Times best-selling author returns with a thrilling tale of lost love, betrayal and secrets that have lain buried over a thousand years....

Critic reviews
“Barbara Erskine is an astonishingly good writer. I have always been a massive fan and admirer of her talent. I feel that she has written this book especially for me. It has everything I love, and is so compelling I drop everything to get back to it. Warmth, depth, mystery, magic and the supernatural, I’m just so excited to be engrossed in such a beautiful book!" (Santa Montefiore, best-selling author)
"A dazzling roller-coaster of a book that will thrill, enchant and intrigue those who love history and the supernatural." (Alison Weir, best-selling author)
"The story of Eadburh is brilliantly imagined and the novel is so atmospheric and suspenseful, full of myth and magic and hauntings...such vivid and well-rounded characters. Wild Wales and the contrasting ordered life of the Cathedral are beautifully evoked, too." (Rachel Hore, best-selling author)

Good story - reader got all the whispering wrong!
I enjoyed the story and the reader was fine. except for the whispered phrases. There was quite a lot of whispering in the book and every single time, I had to go back and play it again on full volume. Real whispers in an audio book just don’t work! They need to be stage whispers.
Apart from this annoying issue, 4 stars.

Really enjoyed this book, found it incredibly hard to put down. I've loved all of Barbara Erskine's books. Jilly Bond's narration was wonderful. I can't wait for her next book!

Beautiful book
I am big fan on Barbara Erskine and this book didn’t disappoint! For the first time ever I listen to the end credits as well and found myself with teary eye as Barbara explained her journey. I have nothing bad to say about this book itself, my only issue was the lovely lady who was reading the book for us and her need to change the voices. I found that very irritating although I did accepted (not enjoyed) it somewhere around half of the book. Other then that she has lovely voice and it was very easy for me to understand everything she said even though English isn’t my first language.

A wonderful story
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Such a good story from start to end. Every character has a place, whether you liked them or not! The narrator was excellent, instilling the right atmosphere which you could imagine in your mind. I was quite sad for it to end. Highly recommended.
