Description

'Heart-poundingly brutal, heart-poundingly romantic, this compelling mystery is utterly absorbing.' Amie Kaufman, New York Times bestselling author of The Isles of the Gods

Recently dumped, heart-broken Ana struggles to put the past behind her on a post-graduation summer holiday. When a catastrophic earthquake hits, Ana and the other survivors emerge in a world they don't recognise, stumbling into a 14th century battle.

The students flee, and Ana is chased off a cliff by one of the soldiers, Leon, who is badly injured in the fall. Sparks fly between Ana and Leon: to survive, they need to rely on each other and as their trust grows, so does romance.

Together they must endure a treacherous journey and find the legendary mystic everyone calls 'The Saint,' who is said to have the power to send Ana home... until an unexpected twist changes everything.

'Full of thrills, humour, and more than a little heat, The Lost Saint is a rip-roaring time-slip fantasy by a master storyteller.' Rachael King, bestselling and award-winning author of The Grimmelings
