An exciting new paranormal romantic treasure from USA Today bestselling historical romance author Hildie McQueen
Gwyneth “Gwen” Lockhart has a rare and powerful gift—she helps lost spirits find peace and cross over. When she takes on a job at a beautiful Scottish castle, she expects it to be like any other. But when she encounters the ghostly presence of Lord Tristan McRainey, a knight who died centuries ago, something feels different. Drawn to him in ways she can’t explain, Gwen begins to wonder if Tristan is not a ghost at all, but a man cursed and trapped in time by dark magic.
Lord Tristan McRainey has been imprisoned for three hundred years, bound by an evil wizard’s spell along with four of his fellow knights. When Gwen enters his world, he’s certain that she holds the key to breaking the enchantment. Confident that he can make her fall in love with him and sacrifice whatever it takes to free him, Tristan has no doubt the plan will work. But what he doesn’t expect is to find himself falling for her first.
And as their bond deepens, the cost of breaking the curse may be higher than either of them imagined.
A beautiful Scottish castle, a woman with a gift for helping the dead crossover and a centuries-old curse with a prophecy … heck yes! This is the first audiobook in the Cursed Kingdom series, and each has a standalone romance, but the curse of the knights arc is connected, so you’ll want to devour these in order.
Gwen, a medium who has successfully helped spirits crossover arrives at the Scottish castle of the McRainey’s and expects a simple job. However, Lord Tristan McRainey is unlike any ghost she has ever encountered. Their chemistry is undeniable, and I loved watching their relationship develop as Gwen learns of the curse and prophecy. Tristan holds things back from her, things we as the listener learn, and I found myself completely hooked.
We have dark magic, shifters, time travel, sorcery, romance and more in this fast-paced tale with danger both in the past and present.
At just under seven hours, I devoured this in a single evening and immediately searched out information on the next audio. Tantor is releasing them quickly over the next few months, and I am all in. Summer Roberts narrates and did a wonderful job, from the Scottish brogue to capturing the emotions and tone of the story.
Perfect for fans of Nora Roberts’ paranormal romantic fantasies. I highly recommend An Enchanted Knight and look forward to listening to A Beautiful Knight releasing September 30, 2025.
