An epic tale of a remarkable family in a remarkable century . . .
Spanning three generations and a century of love, loss and longing, 'The Stolen Years' is a stunning tale of secrets and betrayals, of an empire forged from the seeds of revenge . . . and the legacy that withstood it all.
On the battlefields of World War I, twin brothers Gavin and Angus MacLeod are torn apart in one horrific instant that changes their lives for ever. Believing his brother dead, a shattered, tormented Angus returns home to Scotland and takes his twin's place as heir to the family title - and husband to his brother's fiancée.
But Gavin has survived. Believing he was betrayed, he creates a new identity for himself. And as he leads an elite business empire through decades of war and turbulence, peace and prosperity, he nurses a bitter obsession for revenge.
Fate and one remarkable woman will unite the brothers' lives in astonishing unforeseen ways. Yet the children of these men will bear the sins of their fathers. And as the twenty-first century dawns, the secrets that have shaped their destinies will finally be revealed.
