The Betrayed

Echoes from the Past, Book 7

By: Irina Shapiro

Narrated by: Wendy Wolfson

Are some secrets worth dying for?

Ireland, 1588. Rafael de Silva washes ashore on an Irish beach after a catastrophic shipwreck, carrying only his secret Jewish faith and a golden hamsa. He is starving and desperate when he meets Aisling O’Rourke, a local chieftain’s niece, and experiences a blinding desire he has never felt before. But their love is impossible, and when Rafael’s precious hamsa is discovered, he faces a terrible choice: admit to a secret that could see him nailed to a cross or watch an innocent man die in his place.

Present day. The discovery of a hamsa amulet beside crucified remains near an Irish castle is a puzzle to Quinn Allenby until her psychic gift connects her to the artifact’s terrible history. But as she pieces together Rafael’s story, her twin sister’s arrival with devastating secrets forces Quinn to confront a painful truth: some betrayals span generations, and the past has a way of demanding payment from the living.

A haunting tale of religious persecution, forbidden love, and family secrets that echo through the centuries. The next addictive listen for fans of Diana Gabaldon, Susanna Kearsley, and Barbara Erskine.

Wow!!

This “chapter” in the Echoes from the Past Series is jam-packed with unexpected surprises both in Quinn’s present life and in the story of the crucified remains she is “researching.” I absolutely love this series and highly recommend it to anyone who likes suspense stories set in both the present and the past. Wendy Wolfson, the narrator, does an excellent job in bringing this story to life. I’m anxiously awaiting the next book in this series!! I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving a free copy.

Hanging on every word!

Wait...what? On the edge of my seat waiting for book 8 on Audible. Another great read Irina! I’m going to re-listen to the Wonderland series while I wait...

Excellent series

I binge read the series in a week at the beach! Couldn’t put them down!
Historical Fiction Highly recommend!

Hooray!!

Finally. (Spoiler Alert!!!) … No sad horrific ending!!! Really enjoying the ongoing story of Quinn/Gabe /Reese … and their family…

Another great listen!

Enjoyed this book as well. It's always interesting to listen to events in the present and past, but I'm always a bit impatient to continue the past historical events. Excellent narration!
