Some betrayals echo through the centuries.
Berwick-upon-Tweed, 1461. When Lady Catherine Dancy saves the life of a wounded knight, Guy de Rosel, her fate is sealed. Though they share a powerful connection, Guy’s manipulative brother Hugh discovers her identity and forces her into a loveless political marriage. Trapped in the crumbling de Rosel keep on the Scottish borders, Catherine faces an impossible choice between duty and desire. But Hugh’s cruel ambitions run deeper than she knows, and when betrayal strikes, will the chapel where she sought solace become her tomb?
Present day. Archaeologist Quinn Allenby’s psychic gift has often been a curse, but when she discovers a medieval skeleton and amber rosary beads beneath her husband’s family home, the visions that flood through her are darker than any she’s experienced before. As Quinn’s high-risk pregnancy pushes her to breaking point, she becomes obsessed with uncovering the truth about Catherine’s fate. But solving this ancient mystery may cost her everything, including the man she loves…
A devastating story of deadly betrayal, forbidden love and the dangerous power of the past to reshape the present. A binge-worthy listen for fans of Diana Gabaldon, Susanna Kearsley, and Barbara Erskine.

2014: While doing renovations at their ancestral home, Gabe’s mother unearths skeletal remains along with a sword and rosary beads. With an ancestry that can be traced back to the Norman Conquest of 1066, Gabe has always held a deep fascination with his past. With her psychic gift, Quinn is able to ascertain that the sword belonged to Guy de Rosel and the rosary beads to Lady Catherine Dancy. As she tries to piece together the mystery behind the secret burial place, Quinn discovers a shocking revelation about her own past.
The Forsaken is the fourth compelling instalment of the Echoes of the Past series and is a dual time novel set in 1461 and 2014. The time frame from the past is set in the aftermath of the Battle of Towton which took place during the War of the Roses which culminated in the dynastic struggles between the houses of Lancaster and York for control of the English throne. The engagement ultimately ending in an overwhelming victory for the Yorkists. In a time of political turmoil and shifting allegiances where women were mere pawns to be used for personal gain and political clout, Kate unwittingly becomes a victim of her time. The abuse she suffered was very difficult to read at times, particularly the rape scene. Despite the prologue revealing the nature of her death, I genuinely sobbed when I read the scene where she is found in the aftermath. I had suspected someone else to be the culprit and the fact that they never got their just desserts was a bitter pill to swallow.
Quinn’s story continues to be intriguing. Usually with dual time stories, the present day tends to be less interesting than the past but throughout the series, both dual frames have held my interest equally. We see Quinn, now roughly 8 months pregnant, dealing with the nightmares that have plagued her since her trip to Louisiana. Coupled with pre eclampsia and a shocking revelation about her past, she’s struggling somewhat in this book.
The author has once again managed to write a masterfully woven plot which moves seamlessly back and forth between the past and present. Throughout the series, the author’s descriptive writing and historical detail has made each one of her stories come alive and this book was no exception.
I received an advanced free audible copy of The Unforgiving and I am voluntarily reviewing it. Wendy Wolfson has once again managed to bring the characters and story to life with her clear, concise narration. I recommend this series for fans of historical fiction, dual time mysteries and psychic gifts.
