INTO THE LURE OF TIME
A plan gone wrong. A rash decision. A thoughtless act.
The past always and forever hovers near.
I never thought I could become my own perpetrator.
I never dreamed I would be my own victim.
I never expected to turn into a villain.
But every crime carries a punishment.
In this life, my name is Siena Forte Casey, and mine, I cannot bear.
OFFICIAL BOOK TRAILER
ADVANCE PRAISE
"Vera Bell’s skillful portrayal of real emotions left me breathless in its honesty. She has a stunning ability to bring history to life in her masterful worldbuilding of 16th-century Ireland. The danger, the intrigue, the romance, the sweeping saga, and more—it’s there in all its historical glory. It was an effortless yet intense read and an achingly beautiful story that lingered in my thoughts long after I’d finished the last page."
— JODI JENSEN, Author of Sophie's Key
"Vera's brilliant storytelling comes out in full force again in this exceptional sequel. Ireland and Washington D.C. come to life as living, breathing, vibrant locations. The author explores Siena and Neave's motivations and flaws through a gripping psychological lens, something not often utilized in fiction."
— THE BOOKISH HISTORIAN BOOK REVIEWS
"Vera you had me feeling all the emotions with this one! It’s literally taking me a few days to finally come down from the rollercoaster to write this (I mean that in the best way).
— IRISH BOOKLOVER 89 | BOOKSTAGRAMMER
"Ms. Bell brings out the emotions in her characters so strongly that I felt the pain as the characters experienced it. The characters all had flaws which made them realistic. I love time travel novels especially when they are based in Ireland. I will continue to look for books written by Vera Bell. She has captured the attention and loyalty of many including me."
— DEBRA, Goodreads
"I was blown away by the first book “Through the Veneer of Time,” especially from a debut author, and thought it couldn’t get better. But I was wrong! The history is so intriguing, and who doesn’t love a strong warrior as a male lead who has just enough vulnerability to make him human? I am looking forward to the next book!"
— RACHEL, Goodreads
"I loved the book. It was even better than the first, although my nerves could barely take it. It was so intense, I had to step away several times. I have to confess, I jumped to the end to make sure everything ends well before proceeding LOL."
