Book Description
An ancient family relic, a newly discovered portal to the past—what could possibly go wrong?
Scotland 1434—Aidan Sinclair has one last mission to complete in order to fulfill his duty—a sacred oath made to his brethren and mentor, to install the Montgomerys in what will become their family seat for centuries to come. But when he finds the mysterious Miss O’Roarke in residence upon his arrival, seeking safe passage to Dunhill, it seems his task is far from over…and perhaps, a new quest is set to begin.
As Aidan and Brianna make the journey across land and sea, two things become one, their lives are somehow entwined, and have been since before they even met. And two, assumptions, especially in matters of the heart, rarely prove true, and even less so where Fate is concerned.
Return to adventure, and Medieval Scotland for another heart stopping, time travel romance in the Highland Lairds of the Crest Series—where lingering questions are answered…and new mysteries begin to unravel.

My Thoughts
Narrated by the accomplished Marian Hussey, an Earphones Award winner and ALA Listen List recipient, Kim Sakwa's "The Promise" weaves a spellbinding tale that bridges centuries with both magic and romance. Hussey's masterful narration breathes life into this enchanting story, her voice carrying listeners effortlessly between present day and 15th-century Scotland.
The story follows Brianna O'Roarke, a woman whose tragic past has led her to find solace in historical artifacts. When an ancient family relic reveals itself as a portal to the past, Brianna's carefully ordered world turns upside down. The narrative unfolds in 1434 Scotland, where she encounters Aidan Sinclair, a Highland warrior bound by sacred oaths and duty. The chemistry between these characters crackles with intensity from their first meeting, making for an engaging listening experience.
Hussey's narration particularly shines in her ability to distinguish between modern and historical voices, lending authenticity to both time periods. Her command of Scottish accents adds depth to the Highland characters, while her pacing perfectly captures both the tender romantic moments and the pulse-quickening adventures.
Sakwa's attention to historical detail creates a rich, immersive backdrop that audio listeners can easily visualize. The author skillfully balances the fish-out-of-water elements of time travel with the growing romance, never letting one overshadow the other. The supporting characters are well-developed, adding layers of intrigue and emotion to the main narrative.
What sets this audiobook apart is its ability to make the time-travel element feel both magical and believable. The story explores themes of fate, duty, and the timeless nature of true love, all while maintaining a steady pace that keeps listeners engaged. The production quality is excellent, with clear audio that enhances the intimate moments and dramatic scenes alike.
For fans of Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series or anyone who enjoys their romance with a dash of historical adventure, this audiobook delivers a captivating escape into the Scottish Highlands. The combination of Sakwa's storytelling and Hussey's narration creates an audiobook experience that will leave listeners eager for more.
