With Fire and Sword by Andrea Matthews
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

In this instalment of this series, Will, Maggie and Dylan return, but they are no longer together, Will and Maggie are in the present and Dylan is in the sixteenth century, but as always on the border, danger is never far away and there is always the risk of attacks and so when things turn bloody, Dylan realises that something is not right and that time is not running as it should. In the present, Will and Maggie are settling into their new lives and Will is realising just how different the two centuries are, so when they decide that they want to connect with those around where they will be living more, they start to open up about their adventures, but there are still surprises in store for the two.

As Will and Maggie spend more and more time together and try to unravel what has been happening since their return, they find a new note in a diary and it puts a swathe of ice cold water down both of their spines, something has happened in the past and Dylan has sent a message through time that they will need to come back to help set things right, but they have no idea how they are going to do it. Meanwhile, Dylan is wracking his brains to figure out how to sort out the mess which has been created around him and as reluctant as he is to bring Will and Maggie back, he knows that it will most likely be the only option, but he has no way of doing it.

This is where a significant part of their joint past comes to try and help in the form of Ritchie Carnaby, a friend of the family who has inadvertently himself managed to find a way to the future for himself and his family, but there are gaps in his memory of events which should be significant, but is it because of the time travel, or is it something to do with the note that Dylan left them and will they be able to find a way to restore the timeline before the future is irrevocably changed? This is another fast paced adventure, where time is of the essence in more ways that one and finding a way to travel back through the centuries seems impossible, will they be able to overcome their adverse challenges and set everything right while staying out of the constant danger which surrounds them, the only way is to follow on with this addictive and engrossing part of this series.
