When bestselling author Carrie McClelland visits the windswept ruins of Slains Castle, she is enchanted by the stark and beautiful Scottish landscape. The area is strangely familiar to her but she puts aside her faint sense of unease to begin her new novel, using the castle as her setting, and one of her own ancestors, Sophia, as her heroine. Then Carrie realises her writing is taking on a life of its own and the lines between fact and fiction become increasingly blurred. As Sophia's memories draw Carrie more deeply into the intrigue of 1708, she discovers a captivating love story lost in time. After three hundred years, Sophia's Secret must be told.
The Winter Sea, 但在英國出版時是以 Sophia’s Secret 做為書名; 原文是 2008 年出版,
英國版 Sophia’s Secret: Under that title, it was shortlisted for the 2009 Romantic Novel of the Year award.
As The Winter Sea, the book was a finalist for a 2009 RITA® award for Best Novel with Strong Romantic Elements.
若是系列第一本,則後續出版的有 '11 The Rose Garden, '13 The Fire Bird, 相同的書名模式可能是同系列, 但故事簡介裡的人物姓氏看來, 主角們可能沒有直接親屬關係, 但三本都有點魔幻性質(時空穿越?), 第一本跟第三本簡介都有直接提到蘇格蘭, 第二本則只提到加州; (以上, 報告完畢)

Previously published asThe Winter Sea
但是好像這本書是舊書，以前的名字是The Winter Sea。改名出版，被讀者發現打臉了。給評的人數不多，但是大部分是好評。
feed me books, that's all i need.
The Winter Sea在2010年出版時，有兩千多人給評，大部分落在5星跟4星
看來是整體評價不錯的。但不知道為什麼更名再出版。這本沒有kindle版。
覺得故事看起來蠻特別的。

《The Winter Sea》在AAR跟浪漫時代都被歸類為歷史小說Historical Fiction,(浪漫時代的分類為Historical Romance,Historical Fiction),但對福利等級的看法郤差很大(她們說的是同一本書嗎??)
在AAR的評價為B+;福利等級:Subtle,詳見:http://allaboutromance.com/book-review/the-winter-sea/
此書在浪漫時代的評價4.5顆星、並且獲得2010年度最佳歷史小說,福利等級:Hot,詳見:https://www.rtbookreviews.com/book-review/winter-sea
評subtle的人難道是看到刪減版??XDDD
我以為只有台灣翻譯才會出現這種刪減版呀~~誤~~~

請問故事是一集完還是接續下去的?
這好像是Slains系列的第一集?
