Out of darkness, light will shine…
Amy Hardy once lived a life full of colour, but a tragic accident has turned her world to shadows. Determined to embrace her new life, Amy sets off on the famous Compostela pilgrimage, hoping to find light in the darkness and a new path.
Accompanying her on her journey is Luke Patterson a man whose own troubled past casts dark shadows over his life. He’s hoping that guiding Amy will be a distraction from his own troubles.
But as Luke and Amy travel through the stunning scenery of Northern Spain, following in footsteps of those travellers before them, they feel a connection to each other. And as their bond grows, a love story from the distant past emerges before them, forcing them to confront their own secrets, pain and feelings for each other.
Can a story of courage and bravery help them both to emerge from the shadows into the light once more?
About The Author
My Review
This is a captivating and beautifully constructed novel that seamlessly weaves together past and present. At its heart are two parallel love stories: Amy and Luke, modern-day pilgrims walking the Camino de Santiago, and Aimee and Luc, a widow and Templar knight in fourteenth-century Spain.
Amy, who is blind following a tragic accident, and Luke, still haunted by his own past trauma, set out on the Camino seeking more than just a journey—they are searching for healing and purpose. Their shared love of history inspires them to imagine the tale of Aimee and Luc, whose dangerous mission to protect a holy relic brings them face-to-face with peril, loss, and unexpected love. As these alternating narratives unfold, subtle echoes suggest that destiny—or even reincarnation—links the two couples across centuries.
Williams writes with warmth and sensitivity, balancing the grit of medieval life with the lyrical beauty of the Spanish landscape. The result is both moving and atmospheric, offering readers a story that is equal parts romance, adventure, and reflection. A thoughtful, immersive read for anyone who enjoys history entwined with heartfelt contemporary fiction.
