The Sequel of the award winning book OUTCAST.

Outcast is a wonderful story full of drama, betrayal and the desire for love. This is the first book I've read by Claire Voet but it certainly won't be the last. I'm looking forward so much to reading what happens next in Molly's life.

I am delighted there is a sequel to 'Outcast', as this riveting romantic story exploring past lives left me very much wanting to know what will happen next to Molly. History and fiction meld together in a gripping novel with characters you really care about. A vivid atmosphere is created from the start in this beautifully crafted tale, which quickly draws you into its own world...

1945. Molly returns home to Hazleton Farm in Hampshire. With the war now over, it is the first Christmas the Hazletons will spend together as a family in years. But Molly is unprepared for the surprise that awaits her. Adam, her fiancé, believed to be killed in the war, is back! Molly, however, has recently moved on, starting afresh in Scotland, finding a new love with Ross McDaniel.

Caught in a love triangle and with the pressure now building, Molly once again reaches out to the ancient yew tree, known as The Ghost Tree. She vividly sees her past life and is whisked back to 1746, to a life on the run. This time she and husband Fergus, a brave Scott warrior, are taking shelter in Ireland having escaped the brutal attack of the McKenzies at Aberdoch Manor. Now the guardians of their orphaned niece and nephew, they must lay low with Cousin Michael and his wife Clodagh in Dublin. But, trouble is never far away and it isn't long before danger and heartbreak comes calling once more.

This story can be read as a stand alone book but it is advisable to read the first book of 'Outcast' for maximum enjoyment!

In 1945, when Molly, distraught about her fiancé missing in the war, goes to Scotland to stay with her aunt, she would never have dreamt of the discoveries she would make. Connecting with a very special tree she begins to witness and experience her past life in 1745. The writing of these two timelines blend seamlessly together and I really felt for Molly as she struggles to live her life in the 1940's whilst wanting to live in the past with her highland husband, Fergus. The action of the Jacobite rebellion is brought fully to life and the dual timeline description of Scotland 200 years apart is so well written that I felt I was living both lives along with Molly.
