Shawn means self and Kleiner means centered, one of Shawn’s (many) ex-girlfriends proclaimed. Shawn had it all --- wealth, fame, women --- until the night his girlfriend had enough and abandoned him in a medieval Scottish tower. He woke up in the wrong century. Two years in medieval Scotland will change a man --- and make him see what his ways have cost him.

Safely back in his own time, Shawn is steadily regaining all he lost --- his career as a world-traveling musician, the son he feared he would never know, and finally, maybe, even Amy’s heart. But as he does, he learns of the dangers still lurking in 14th-century Scotland: to Niall who will pay the price for the deed Shawn committed; to his own son, the subject of prophecy and an ancient letter predicting a fateful battle; even danger to the whole world as the Butcher of Berwick uses his knowledge of the future to destroy it.

In this gripping conclusion to The Blue Bells Chronicles, Shawn faces the ultimate test. His selfishness once cost him everything. His newfound selflessness may do the same.
