Wild Wood

An enthralling novel from a beloved storyteller Jesse Marley calls herself a realist, but all her certainties are blown aside by events she cant control. First she finds out shes adopted and then shes run down by a motorbike. In a London hospital, unable to speak, she begins to draw. From her fingers flow images of places shes never been, people from another time a castle, a man in armour. And a womans face. Rory Brandon, Jesses neurologist, is intrigued and shocked. He knows the castle. Hes been there. Rory takes Jesse to Hundredfield, a thousand-year-old stronghold in the Scottish Borderlands, passed down within the noble Dieudonn family. In the savagery of the fourteenth century, the family are trapped by duty to keep the peace between England and Scotland. But Jesse carries ancient knowledge that Hundredfield unlocks and its history of dark and light, of battles, and sorrow and love, will show Jesse her true lineage. There are no accidents. There is only fate.
