Synopsis

The Hector Passage

A Time‑Slip Epic of Love, Memory, and the North Atlantic

When museum researcher Rowan MacInnis hears a Gaelic song at the Antigonish Highland Games, something inside her stirs—something older than memory. A carved wooden token arrives at the Maritime Museum with her name on it. A spiral symbol appears on an Oak Island timber. And a storm pulls her across centuries onto the deck of the Hector, the ship that carried the first Scottish settlers to Nova Scotia in 1773.

There she meets Ewan Forsyth, a carpenter with storm‑grey eyes and a past as tangled as her own. As Rowan becomes woven into the lives of the settlers, she discovers that the spiral symbol follows the Forsyth lineage across generations—from the fall of Louisbourg to the Beaver Club of Montreal, from the Arctic ice to the deck of the Bluenose.

Each era leaves a message.

Each ancestor leaves a clue.

Each carving points to her.

Rowan is the Restorer—the one who walks between worlds, carrying memory forward. But the past is not hers to keep. And love, even across time, demands a price.

Sweeping, atmospheric, and deeply emotional, The Hector Passage is a Canadian epic that blends history, myth, and romance into a story about belonging, destiny, and the power of remembering who we are.

Perfect for readers of Susanna Kearsley, Diana Gabaldon, and Michael Crummey.
