Was this the Tower foreshadowed for her in the ancient emblem of the Tarot? What had brought her to Allt nam Fearna? Accident? Or something more, a destiny inexorably decreed two centuries before? Her thoughts returned to James Ridley, the handsome Englishman, and to Alasdair MacRaith whose dark eyes penetrated her very soul, the soul she could no longer even call her own, the soul she shared with a dead woman. By largely forgotten historical novelist Marquerite Neilsen. Scarce signed. Signed by Author(s).
