About this listen
Barbara Erskine returns with this beautiful and haunting tale of dark forces and mystical powers
Cambridge, present day: Following the death of her mother, Abi Rutherford receives a mysterious bequest – a misshapen crystal sphere known as the Serpent’s Stone, which gives her glimpses into mysteries long concealed by the church.
Western England, 25 AD: A stranger has come to the chilly Somerset wetlands, with a story of hope and reconciliation. But he is being followed by powerful forces, determined that he will not undermine Roman rule in Britain.
Abi questions what connects these ancient events and her gift. Why do so many people seem desperate to hide the truth?
A dark shadow has fallen across the centuries, and a woman is in fear for her life. But is it danger that awaits her, or the final truth so long whispered across the echoes of time?

The ways of Life challenged......
This is my second Barbara Erskine novel.
I'm hooked. I love the way she brings together many of our possible understandings. Let's face it Life is a mystery.

excellent listen
This is the first Erskin book I have listened to and I am about to start a second which I hope will be equally as enjoyable. I like Phil Rickman books and this is similar but I enjoyed the two stories running consecutively. It was a book I wanted to listen to until the end and even then I was left wanting more. thus my reason for downloading another book in a similar vein by the same author.

Riveting listening
Having read and enjoyed other books by this author I was delighted to find a title that I hadn't seen before and I was not disappointed. The story held me enthralled and I couldn't wait to pick up my ipod and continue listening. I feel quite lost now that it has come to an end but I can thoroughly recommend this audio book.

Old Style Barbara Erskine
I have read all Barbara Erskine's long stories, since her first, Lady of Hay, which is one of my all time favourite books. This definitely ranks in her top three. Back to her old style of narrative, quite easy going and relaxing, but a really compelling story (well 2 actually!) I haven't got to the end yet, but am loving listening to this book. Also have to comment on the narrator, I am not normally a fan of female narrators - I don't know why but I just generally find them harder to get used to. Not so with this. A really lovely voice, good subtle voice changes for the different characters and very easy to listen to. A definite 5 star audiobook.

Interesting joining of Druids and Christians
The story goes between modern day and the time of Jesus. It is easy to tell which era you are in and there aren’t any stilted jumps – it flows wonderfully. The narrator has a wonderful way of drawing you into the book and on several occasions I found myself standing totally still waiting tensely to see what was going to happen. She has a way of building tension that is rare and adds much to the book.
I must admit I found the narrator better than the story that has strong religious overtones. It adds an interesting slant on druidism and Christianity. But you have to ask yourself is it a step too far to create a story (even though fictitious) portraying Jesus coming to Glastonbury. And is it really believable that he although not converting readily accepted and study druid and pagan ways? I feel that some may have issues over this and the “in house” dealings of a sexist and stalker priest.

Time's Legacy sublime.
I have tried to award 5 stars in each category, but this app would not accept it! I have thoroughly enjoyed this offering from Barbara Erskine who never fails to enchant with her storytelling.
The cross over of time and Christianity v Druidism was fascinating.
Anyone who listens/reads this story will be delighted.

Times Legacy
I read this book not long after it was first published and thoroughly enjoyed it. The audio book is even better. one of the best I have listened to. The story was just as fresh and consuming and the narrator brilliant. this was worth much more than 5 stars.
